When I create a rule in Microsoft Outlook 2003 that automatically moves sent items to a certain person and certain folder, I cannot move the sent message itself -- only a copy of it. The original email stays in the Sent Items folder. How can I create a rule so that the original is moved instead of a copy?

1. In Microsoft Outlook, go to Tools -> Options -> Email Options.

2. Deselect the checkbox next to "Save Copies of Messages in Sent Items Folder," click OK and then exit the dialog windows.

3. Create a rule to check messages after sending. Configure the rule such that it will copy messages sent to specific people or lists into a folder that you specify.
