Trying to set up a simple rule to file messages I send into the correct client folders.
Set up the local rule as follows:
After message has been [sent]
with ‘To: @xxx.com’ found in header
move to Folderxxx
and stop processing other rules
When I send a message to someone at xxx.com the email still goes into the sent folder and not into Folderxxx. If I then go into rules and apply the rule on the sent items the email is shifted into the correct folder.
If your server is creating the message in the Sent folder, a Rule won’t work automatically because when you click on Send, there is no message in the Sent folder to move. Only once the server has sent it, and the folder has synced back to eM Client through IMAP, is the message there.
I thought I was asking it to action the rule on messages I send and since it is sending them it should be able to look at the header and take the action at the time it is being sent. Specifically it is a local rule so if the servewr subequently places a copy in the sent items I would not have thought that mattered.
As an aside I would have thought what I am trying to do is what everyone would want to do. File the messages sent to a company in the company folder. Is there another way to achieve this?
