Outlook 2007 IMAP not saving sent email to IMAP "Sent" folder
My clients depend on IMAP to save sent messages to the IMAP sent account.
This intermittently breaks, and the sent messages are saved instead to the "Sent Items" folder under "Personal Folders". Why? And how can I fix this so it is dependable? (500 pts because I can't find info of use on this anywhere.)

Yes, appropriate folder is selected.
I'll check with the folks at RackSpace. I had not done so up 'till now.
Thanks.

Hi Scott ,
Outlook should move these items when you select it automatically and the only server part is
accepting the message. I did check online and found various posts for people experiencing similar
issues and there was no result with Outlook 2007. Unfortunately this looks to be an issue with Outlook itself. Here is the information I found online.

Here however is a solution that might help you can also set the following rule in Outlook which will move the items as well which should work.
1. Go to Tools
2. Rules and Alerts
3. Create new rule
4. Start from a blank rule
5. Check messages after sending
6. Click Next
7. Make sure all boxes are unchecked, click Next 8. Click yes to the pop up warning 9. Move a copy to the Specified folder 0. Clink on the link and specify the account Sent folder 11. Not the Outlook Sent Items folder 12. Click Next 13. Here you can specify account exceptions 14. Turn on this rule 15. Finish
--------------------------
So what he is suggesting is that I set up a rule to backstop the setting, in hopes that a belt *and* suspenders will keep the pants up.
Does anyone have a more elegant solution?
Thanks.
