I use Outlook.com (Web mail) and Outlook 2013 on a PC with Windows 7. My Outlook.com account is synced with Outlook 2013 on my PC (created an EAS account in Outlook 2013). In Outlook.com I have an outlook.com email address and I added a my gmail address to it. The added gmail address is a "send only" account and I forwarded mail from gmail to my outlook.com account. When I send an email from Outlook.com I can choose which address the email comes from (either gmail or the outlook address) and in either case the email shows up in the one common "Sent" folder. This all works as I would expect.
Here is my question. I want the same behavior in Outlook 2013 on my PC. I created an EAS account (.ost) that syncs with the Outlook.com account and that all works fine. I also added a POP account (.pst) for the gmail address so I could have the option of sending from that account while in Outlook 2013. The problem is that created a second account with its own set of folders. When I send an email from the gmail address the email goes into that account's sent folder. I would like all emails to go to one common sent folder (the outlook account (.ost) "sent" folder) so it stays in sync with Outlook.com. You cannot move items from the PST file to the OST file.
As a work around every email that goes out is bcc to my outlook.com email address just so I can choose to save in an OST folder if I want.
Any thoughts on how to do this? Better work arounds?
Thanks in advance.
