Configuring Sent Mail

By default, Outlook stores your sent mail in a folder called, "Sent Items". Also by default, these items are stored locally (i.e., on your local computer, not on the server). Because of this, these mail messages will not be accessible from any other machine. If you want to store your sent mail on the server, follow these steps:

1. Select Tools > Account Settings...
2. On the Email tab, double-click on cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu (or whatever you named your email account).
3. The Change E-mail Account dialog box appears. Click More Settings...
4. Select the Folders tab and complete the fields as follows:
   • Select the radio button for "Choose an existing folder or create a new folder to save your sent items for this account in"
   • Click the plus sign to expand cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu, and then click the plus sign to expand the Inbox folder.
   • Scroll until you find your Sent Mail folder, select it and then click OK.
     Note: If you don't already have a folder called "Sent Mail", follow steps to Create a Personal Folder.
     Note: If you use other email clients, we recommend that you name your Outlook sent mail folder the same as the sent mail folder you use in your other mail clients.
     
5. Click Next and then click Finish to exit the E-mail account wizard. Click Close.
