Message rule for outgoing messages

How do I create a rule to apply after sending an email.

I have multiple accounts, but, after sending a message, the message will
stay in the one sent box, no matter which account I have sent it from. I
wish to create a rule which will move the sent message to an appropriate
folder depending on which account I used.

In Outlook 2002 it was possible to apply a rule after sending, but Windows
Mail only gives the option to apply a rule after a message is received. I had
to give up with Outlook 2002 and move to Windows Mail because Vista would
not easily handle passwords on multiple accounts, but. moving the emails by
hand is a pain.

Is there any answer?

Thanks in advance.

I have found a previous post which gives the answer.

And the answer is NO you cannot create a rule for outgoing messages. But
you can send yourself a BCC and handle the new incoming message with a rule.

You may be happier with Windows Live Mail which has a
separate "Sent Items" folder for every mail account.
