Rule for outgoing new messages

[Wilfred]

How do I create a rule to move all my outgoing messages to a specific domain
to a specified folder?

Example: All e-mails that I send to (e-mail address removed) should
be moved to the "photocontractor" folder.

Use the "with specific words in the recipient's address" condition and the
"Move a copy" and "stop processing more rules" actions. Disable the option
to save copies in Sent Items and "move a copy" will be a move with no copy.

In my desire to make my original post as brief as possible, I think I
misspoke when I said that I wanted to "move all my outgoing messages to a
specific domain to a specified folder". What I really want to do is to
"save" all these new, outgoing messages to a specified folder without having
to go back and manually move them or run a rule that will move them from the
Sent Items folder to the specified folder.

Wouldn't disabling the "Save copies in Sent Items" option disable that
option for all messages I send? I do want copies of my outgoing e-mails. I
just wish to keep my correspondence with some companies organized in
folders. I've already set up rules that move the incoming mail to the
appropriate folders. I am having difficulty figuring out a way to save
outgoing e-mails to specific folders.

Exactly the question I answered.

Of course not, or I wouldn't have suggested it. Use an outgoing rule.

I'm obviously missing something here. I don't know how to "Disable the
option to save copies in Sent Items" for just this rule. If I uncheck the
option to save messages in Sent Items in Tools>Options>E-mail Options,
Outlook stops saving copies of my e-mails. How do I "Use an outgoing rule"
to accomplish this?

You don't disable it for "just this rule". You disable it altogether. If
you expect some messages won't fit the rules you have to save them in
specific folders yet still want to save all outgoing messages with those
that don't fit the rules to wind up in the Sent Items folder, then you make
one more rule that moves EVERY outgoing message (i.e., no condition) to the
Sent Items folder and make sure it's listed last in the Rules WIzard. Since
all the rules that move messages to other folders preceed the catch-all
rule, they'll take effect and move the message before the catch-all rules
sees it. Becuase you have the "sop processing more rules" action on the
preceeding rules, the following rules (i.e., the catch-all rule in
particular) won't act on the messages that get moved to other folders. If a
message doesn't match any of those rules, the final rule will put it in Sent
Items. If you don't do it this way, you'll have duplicate messages in both
the specific destination folders and in the Sent Items folder.

Is there a way to mark outgoing messages that were moved by a rule to a
specified folder as "read"?

I don't believe so.
