Microsoft Outlook lets you set rules to sort incoming mail into the appropriate folder. Sometimes I get an email that the rules do not or can not sort, so I put it in the appropriate folder manually.

The problem with this is that if someone replies to the conversation, I have to also move that reply into the same folder as the parent email in the chain.

How do I make Outlook sort an email reply into the same folder as the email it is replying to?

This is for Outlook 2013:

  • Go to File > Options
  • Mail
  • Make sure the checkbox for "When reply to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder' is on

File > Options

I had the same question, and I found exactly what I was looking for here:

Move incoming Outlook emails to folder containing previous conversation

There is a "move" ribbon/action in outlook, the last item of it is "Always move messages in this conversation...". There you can specify, where to move the messages that arrive for a specific conversation. Unfortunatly you will have to do this for every conversation (not for every mail though). So far the fastest solution i could find for this problem.
