I tried to create filter which automatically copies sent to different recipients messages to other folder than "sent". I tried many times with different setting but it doesn't work. With inbox messages it works fine.

Thank you

If you want to 'reply' to an email, but you want the sent reply to auto appear in the same folder of the message you are replying to. Tools > Account Settings > Copies & folders for the mail account There is a checkbox to select: 'Place replies on the folder of the message being replied to' then click on OK to save changes.


If you want all sent emails not just replies to got to different fodlers based on who you sent the email to, then you would need to create a filter which when manually run moves selected emails to specific folders. So let the sent emails get auto stored in Sent folder. Tools > Message Filter click on New give filter suitable name Apply filter when: manually run select 'match all of the following' To is email address Perform these actions Move message to and select the folder.

Do not enable. When you need to run this filter, open Message filter. enable only the filters you require Run selected filters on: Sent folder on the mail account click on 'run now'

Best used when you have several sent emails which you need moving. Not exactly what you are looking for, but works if organising loads of sent emails.
