Fantastic!</p> <p>Just one problem! In Outlook 2007, when I click on "Tools" "Macros", all options are greyed out. I searched the web looking for answers, but no luck. Under "Trust Center", it shows "Microsoft VBA for Outlook" add-in as loaded but inactive. It's set to "Load on Demand, (Not currently loaded)" under the COM add-ins.</p> <p>I'm usint a trial version of Outlook 2007. Maybe coding is disabled in the trail, but I don't think so.</p> <p>So close and yet so far! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/select-a-folder-to-file-send-e-mails-from-outlook#post-1918 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:22:08 +0000 boomer23059 1918@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>One downside of the claritude product is that if you select a folder to store a sent message, it does NOT put a copy in the sent folder. That's not a behaviour I wanted. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/select-a-folder-to-file-send-e-mails-from-outlook#post-1917 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:13:08 +0000 Scott 1917@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Boomer,</p> <p>Follow this thread I started:</p> <p><a rel=nofollow href='http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.general&#38;tid=b5e0d6e4-4736-4662-8633-8094b6e45d40&#38;lang=en&#38;cr=US&#38;p=1'>http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.general&#38;tid=b5e0d6e4-4736-4662-8633-8094b6e45d40&#38;lang=en&#38;cr=US&#38;p=1</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/select-a-folder-to-file-send-e-mails-from-outlook#post-1912 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 13:51:44 +0000 Scott 1912@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>No worries, I'll keep looking.

Which version of Outlook do you use? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/select-a-folder-to-file-send-e-mails-from-outlook#post-1864 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 14:28:28 +0000 boomer23059 1864@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>On my old computer, I had a free Outlook add-in that would prompt you for a folder in which to store a copy whenever you sent an e-mail. It was great! I could easily store my sent e-mails in the right project folder just like I do my received e-mails. (This is in addition to the copy automatically stored in the sent folder.) But I had a hard-drive crash and I couldn't find the add-in again (shame on me.) I've found a few commercial tools that do that and a dozen other things, but not as well as the little free tool.</p> <p>Has anyone seen an Outlook add-in like that? I looks like it would be easy to code, but I don't want to invest the time to learn the Outlook API. Suggestions? </p>
