Can I create a message filter for my outgoing messages?

I'm working on a big project with a lot of people. I've created a mail filter to send all my incoming project emails to a designated folder. There's a lot of emailing every day, and it would be a help if I could get my OUTGOING messages filtered straight to the project folder instead of having to do it manually.

Thank you to anybody who can help. (Including telling me "no"!)

I suppose you have an option in filter to "apply after sending" I also use an add-on FiltaQuilla that gives me several more ways to filter.

Otherwise, send a bcc to yourself that your previous filter will take care of

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Gnospen.

I have some cognitive deficits and sometimes it's hard for me to process everything on the screen . . . I've gone at this problem three or four times & never twigged to the "apply after sending" option.

Even now I can't figure out how to direct this reply to you, instead of the OP. It's frustrating. :-) I hope you'll check back in and see this.
