At the moment all of my sent messages are kept in the Sent mail box and
a large number of recieved messages are stored in Folders within "On my
Mac".

What I want to do is to keep all of my sent messages in the nominated
Folders, and where there is no folder to keep them in Sent as at
present.

So I will need a way of sorting out all past sent messages as above,
and a way of sorting out future sent messages.

I also want the mail messages within the folders coloured in two
different colours to show the difference between sent and recieved.

Can such a thing be done using an Intel iMac and OS 10.6?

Thanks,

Peter

Another approach is to make a smart mailbox that has the messages
meeting your criteria, and then drag them into the desired folder.
