If several different sender addresses have been configured for a server account, it is often advisable to store the sent messages in different folders depending on the sender address used. If one sender address is used by several users, it may be advisable to store the sent messages in a shared folder. To do this, the folder for the sent messages can be selected differently for each outgoing mail identity.
The following specifics apply if sent messages are to be stored in a folder other than "Sent Items":
Sent emails are first stored in the "Sent Items" folder. A few minutes later, they are automatically moved to the selected folder.
The "Sent Items" folder is automatically excluded from synchronization with the server. Therefore, make sure that other users of this account on the server do not continue to use "Sent Items". Synchronization in the opposite direction, i.e. from the server, still takes place.
It is not possible for an outgoing mail identity to use the "Sent Items" folder while another outgoing identity uses a different folder in the same data file to store sent emails.
In this case, set folders other than "Sent Items" for all outgoing mail identities.
