Is there a way to get Outlook to prompt me to save in Sent Items?

[ExProgrammer]

I have the "save a copy in sent items" option on, but my mailbox fills up
really fast. I'd like to have a prompt each time I hit the send button. The
prompt would ask me if I would like to save a copy in my Sent Items folder
and I would be able to respond yes or no. This way I can be judicious about
what I save (and I don't have a huge clean-up effort every so often!).

Is this possible?

Sure. You need to use VBA - see if outlookcode.com has a code sample for
this.

Here see sample #2:

If you want it to be more comfortable, see SAM (link in my signature). For
instance, you can predetermine for which mails SAM should ask you for the
folder, and for which it should delete the emails automatically.
