Outlook send-rule that filter on the 'From' field

I use outlook (ms exchange) and have an individual as well as a group inbox (I'm logged in with the individual profile). I'm trying to setup a rule that will save a copy of a sent email in the group inbox if I sent the email 'From' the group email and another rule that will save a copy of a sent email in my individual inbox if I sent the email 'From' my individual email. However I cannot setup rules in the group inbox since the rules are client side and the group profile is normally not logged on and it is not possible to set a send-rule that filter on the 'From' field or Header content.

Any ideas?

If you can't use the Rule Condition "through the specified account", then you need to create an Outlook Add-In or a VBA Macro.

You cannot use Conditions.From filter for a send rule. You get...

Invalid operation. This rule condition cannot be enabled because either the rule is read-only or invalid for the rule type, or the condition conflicts with another condition on the rule.

You could attach to the MailItem.Send and modify the MailItem.SaveSentMessagesFolder after checking the MailItem.Sender
