A new and very cool new feature (it’s in my top 5 of best new Outlook 2007 features) in Outlook 2007 is that you can directly assign an account its own dedicated folder set. This dedicated folder set contains the following default folders;
* Deleted Items
* Inbox
* Junk E-mail
* Outbox
* Sent Items
* Search Folders
Because the account has now its own folder set, all the emails are automatically stored in the corresponding folders without the need of configuring anything else like for instance rules. So also your Sent Items are automatically separated by using this technique.
Setting it up is also very easy;
1. Open your Account Settings via Tools-> Account Settings…
2. Select the account which you want to redirect to its own folder set
3. Press “Change Folder”
4. Press “New Outlook Data File…”
5. Select “Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst)”
6. Give the pst-file a name and set the location where you want to store your pst-file.
I recommend to store the pst-file in a location that is also included in your backups. See this guide for more information on that.
I also recommend to name the pst-file after your account so.pst
See this blog post on how to lookup or change your account name.
7. In the new dialog that pops-up, give an Outlook display name to the newly created pst-file. Again, I recommend naming it after your account name but this time you can leave out “.pst” at the end
8. Press OK to close the naming dialog
9. Select the Inbox folder in the newly created pst-file
10. Press OK to close the New E-mail Delivery Location dialog
11. Repeat the steps to create additional folder sets for each account that you have
12. Press Close to close the Account Settings Dialog.
