Alrighty, in Outlook 2013, I need to (somehow) make it so that:
a) Sent items are all put in the sent items folder, and kept. This is not default behavior, for some unknown reason. A handful of items are in there, but I personally witnessed much more mail being sent than is there. Every sent mail needs to be there. This is one is seriously important (like, "WTF are you Office devs smoking," important).
b) Deleted items are moved to another folder than the inbox, but never actually deleted (local copies would preferable). I know, but some people are set in their ways, and it worked in their decade old version. I couldn't find a rule trigger for being moved to deleted/trash, so if there if a wording for that I missed, that would work, probably ((on delete, move to custom local archive folder...which would be a better solution in the long run, anyway).
Currently, the email is IMAP, but POP is an option (if anyone knows how to do both with POP, that's what I'll do, but I can't find solid answers, at least not that resemble what I see in 2013's UI). Anybody have a clue? I may have already fixed the sent items bit--time will tell--but I'm at a loss for the deleted items. Said user's old PST has thousands of sent and deleted items, from either Office XP or 2003 (the PC itself is long gone), right up through the change day.
