But with the number of emails constantly increasing, we will find this folder will be in a mess. As a consequence, it will be difficult for us to locate desired messages. Thus in case of such a scenario, it is highly advisable to classifying these emails to specified folders. Taking my experience as an example, when I had no idea about moving sent emails to selected folder, I was accustomed to finding particular emails in “Sent Items” by Outlook Instant Search. One day I learned the “Move” method from my friend. By contrast, I have to admit that my past method is too stupid. Here are two simple methods to escape from difficulties of locating emails by filing sent emails. ## **Choosing Specified Folder When Sending Emails** 1. At the outset click “New Email” to open “New Message” window. 2. Then switch to the “Options” tab. 3. In the ribbon, we should find “Save sent items to” option. Click its arrow button, and we will see a drop-down list.![Save Sent Items to](https://www.datanumen.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Save-Sent-Items-to.jpg "Save Sent Items to") 4. Next we should click “Other Folders” item. 5. After this click, a new dialog box of “Select Folder” will arise, in which we can select the existing folder. In addition, we can click “New” button to create a new folder, and then select it.![Save Sent Emails to Selected Folder](<> "Save Sent Emails to Selected Folder") 6. Finally click “OK” to save the option setting. ## **Creating a Rule to File Sent Emails** 1. For a start we should click “Rules” in “Home” ribbon, and select “Manage Rules & Alerts” in the drop-down list. It will open a new window, in which click “New Rules” button. 2. Then in “Rules Wizard”, we should select “Apply rule on messages I sent” and click “Next”. 3. In “Conditions” field, we can select specific conditions as per our needs. Next in “Actions” field, select “Move a copy to specified folder” and “Stop processing more rules”. And click “Next”.![Rule Wizard](<> "Rule Wizard") 4. Finally click a series of “Next”, one “Finish” and “Apply” button to activate this rule. ## **Applying Effectual Software to Restore Corrupted Outlook Files** The above two methods can help us to classify our sent emails depending on our preference.
