KeepRepliesInFolder flow

Purpose

The classic Outlook has the option "When replying to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder" — a feature the new Outlook lacks. See this thread on Microsoft Tech Community.

KeepRepliesInFolder allows the new Outlook or OWA to replicate the behaviour of classic Outlook when that option is enabled.

Installation

1. The flow uses the "Office 365 Outlook" and "Office 365 Users" connections. When importing the flow, use your existing connections or create new ones.
   
2. Download the "KeepRepliesInFolder.zip" file.
3. Open Power Automate and import "KeepRepliesInFolder.zip", following the Power Automate documentation.
   
4. Select "SentItems" in the "Folder" field of the "When a new email arrives (V3)" trigger. Disable "Split On" in the settings.
   
5. Turn on the flow.
   

Testing

1. Open the new Outlook and create a new folder called "TestFolder".
2. Move any incoming email from the "Inbox" to the "TestFolder".
3. Reply to that email.
4. Wait up to a few minutes and verify that the sent email has been moved to the "TestFolder".
