How To Save Sent Emails In Different Folders?
is there a way to save sent emails in different folders according to who the recipient is?
like this... Any email I send to Tom Smith gets saved and pinned in a folder labeled "Tom" Any email I send to Dick Jones gets saved and pinned in a folder labeled "Dick" Any email I send to Harry Wilson gets saved and pinned in a folder labeled "Harry" Is it possible to make a filter that does this? Or can there be only one "Save To" folder? I want to keep all correspondence together in one place. |

It is not possible to solve your problem in exactly the way you envisage. You need to control the folder used for saving sent emails using Identities. You can create an essentially unlimited number of Identities with different From addresses and Sent folders. This includes multiple Identities with the same From address, but different Sent folders. To achieve what you want, you need to establish Identities with suitable names to make it easy to remember the purpose of each one. When sending an email, you must choose the correct Identity depending on the From address and Sent folder you wish to be used.

There is another approach that is possible, but quite tricky to set up successfully. It combines the use of auto BCC on all your Identities with regular Rules. The idea is that if a BCC delivers an email with a delivery address of <yourname>+SentFolderDelivery@fastmail.com, you can then combine detection of this x-Delivered-to and other conditions to handle storing in the correct folder. Before trying to implement this, ensure you are ready for an extended debugging session. |

Seems easier to manually bulk copy the emails.

Associating folders with identities
I’m trying to not use folders as much, and just leave sent messages in the Archive and Sent folders. You can save search setups, and searches can help you find messages from certain people or companies or with other characteristics. I have over 10 GB of messages in my main account, and I find that searches for From addresses and subjects are pretty fast.

I tried the "Group Emails" option but didn't find it very helpful. It's easier to keep the emails in separate folders.
