Maybe a better way would be to use namespaces? Have an Outlook specific namespace (since it and OE are apparently the buggiest clients in this regard)... then you'd just need to: 1. Have a way to define which folder to use in the namespace, and 2. make sure all of your Outlook clients use the proper namespace. I *certainly* don't want to be forced to use 'sent-mail' in my Tbird... -- Best regards, Charles
