Are you saving sent messages? It's a default setting, but can be changed to
not save forwarded messages.

Are you using a pop3 or imap acct? Is the archive folder on the local
machine?

Hello all,

using Outlook '03...

I have an e-mail rule that creates a copy of any sent message and
moves it to a particular folder--archive folder.

This rule, however, deactivates on its own; i.e., it stops working and
the box is unchecked when I look at my rules (I have many rules and
this is the only one that stops working). I have not adjusted any of
my folders!

It seems to stop on a Friday (or maybe that's just a coincidence).

Any thoughts?
alex

Hello again,

another issue with this rule is that it's not sending (archiving)
anything that I forward. I've looked, and cannot find any rule that
differentiates a sent message from a forward message.

thanks again,
alex
