Using Microsoft Outlook to access Exchange, why do messages sent from my delegates not show up in my Sent Items folder?

In Microsoft Outlook, sent messages always go in the Sent Items folder of the sender. Any messages sent by a delegate on someone else's behalf will appear in the delegate's Sent Items folder, not the Sent Items folder of the person for whom the delegate has sent the message.

When sending messages as a delegate, you have two options to have messages appear in the Sent Items folder of the person for whom you are a delegate:

• Open your mailbox and the mailbox of the person for whom you are a delegate. (See In Microsoft Outlook, how do I view other users' calendars, or other folders to which I have access?) Drag and drop the sent message from your Sent Items folder to the Sent Items folder of the user for whom you are a delegate.
  
  
• You can use the "Bcc..." line within the original message to copy the person for whom you are a delegate. The person for whom you are a delegate will receive a copy of the original message, but the recipient will not see any names that you list in the "Bcc..." field. Note that this will send the copy to your Inbox, not to your Sent Mail folder. If you like, you can use Rules to file these messages elsewhere; see In Microsoft Outlook 2000 or 2002, how do I set up rules to handle incoming mail? or In Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007, how do I set up rules to handle incoming mail?
  
  
  • Outlook 2002, 2003, or 2007: If you use Word as your email editor, open a new message. From the drop-down menu under Options, select Bcc so that it is checked.
    
    If you do not use Word as your email editor, open a new message and click View. Select Bcc Field so that it is checked.
    
    
  • Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2001 for Mac OS: Open a new message and from the View menu, select Bcc Field so that it is checked.
