Outlook, advice please

Can anyone recall how to set Outlook so that if you reply to a message it saves the reply to the folder where the original message has been moved to?  

I can't for the life of me remember where I have seen this setting.  I always had this function switched on until I changed PC's, it's really helpful if you have a sepearate folder for every client and have numerous messages going backwards and forwards daily with several different clients.

Catherine,

In Outlook 2003 the setting I think you're looking for is:

Tools->Options->E-mail Options->"Advanced E-mail Options" 
then tick "In Folders other than Inbox, save replies with the original message"

Hi Barry,

Thanks.  I'm on Outlook 2010, it doesn't have a tools option where this setting would normally be found.  

I have now located it.  For anyone that's interested, it's in: File, options, mail, scroll down to save messages and check 'when replying to a message that's not in the inbox, save the reply in the same folder'

Thanks for that helpful info and I've now set that up as well. I have rules in place for all my incoming e-mails and have been dragging and dropping from sent folder.

That has to be a first, me providing IT advice!  Glad to be of help David, that's what this is all about, helping one another out in a bid to increase efficiency and therefore performance.

It can take ages to file all your sent messages if you have left them a couple of days but with this setting switched on, the job's done for you.

Just goes to show that there's always something you can show someone else even if you don't think there is.

And of course not to mention doing a drag and drop and dumping the email in the wrong folder which of course is then a nightmare trying to refind when you want it.

Does anyone know where the 'out of office reply' settings are found in Outlook 2010?

Hi Catherine

Try :  File menu -> Info tab -> 2nd button down "Automatic Replies"

Catherine, you'll only be able to set out of office in Outlook if it is connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server. If you're using a bog-standard (IMAP or POP3) email account from your internet or hosting provider, you'll need to log in to their control panel or their webmail to switch that on. How to do that varies but is usually pretty straightforward once you've found out how, try searching for email auto responder or similar in their online help.

Many thanks, will do.

Good point James, I was thinking "Exchange" when I posted previously
