Sent mail in Lotus Notes

emaillotus-notes

I just started using Lotus Notes (normally I use Outlook) and I'm confused and bothered about something: the "sent" folder is some sort of 'view', and not an actual folder (unlike Outlook). I like to file away my sent messages into the same folders as my received messages so that I have them all together in one area. I can 'move' sent messages to folders, but they stay in the 'sent' view, which is infuriating because now I have no idea if I've filed them all away or not.

What can I do to make a sent email appear in a given folder but NOT in the sent view?

Best Answer

If you delete a note from your sent view, you should get the message:

You are about to delete document(s) from the view as well as from all folders to which this document belongs.

Continue deleting these documents or only remove them from this view?

Then, 3 buttons Delete Remove Cancel and a check box for "Don't ask me again (I can change it later)"

If you pick remove, it will remove it from the sent view and keep the one you moved.

But something you should look into is the amount of space you are given. Saving everything takes up space, so you may want to look into using the Archive feature.
