How to move the sent items itself to a special folder?

[David]

How can I move the sent items to a certain email address to a special folder
automatically by rule? I mean the message itself, not the copy. My outlook
version is 2003.
For example: There are two messages in sent item folder massageA & messageB.
MessageA is sent to sb.A, messageB is sent to sb.B. I want to move messageA
to the folder "MailtoA", and messageB is still reserved in sent item.

create the folders to archive first, then creat a rule for sent items

How can I move the sent items to a certain email address to a special
folder
automatically by rule? I mean the message itself, not the copy. My outlook
version is 2003.
For example: There are two messages in sent item folder massageA &
messageB.
MessageA is sent to sb.A, messageB is sent to sb.B. I want to move
messageA
to the folder "MailtoA", and messageB is still reserved in sent item.

If you disable the option to save sent items in Sent Items, then the rule
will do what you seek since only the copy you put in the folder with the
rule will exist. Outlook won't create another one in Sent Items. If you
want the messages not covered by the rule to also be saved, you'll n4eed a
"catch all" rule that runs after the specific rule that moves a copy of all
messages to Sent Items. The side effect of either of these rules, though,
is that the sent mesage will appear unread in the destination folder.

You can also enable the option to store the replies in the same folder as
the original message. As long as the message is already in a folder other
than Inbox, the sent item will then not be stored in Sent Items but in the
same folder.
