Using the worst-case scenario, your Outlook users could create a rule in their e-mail client to move incoming messages over a certain size to another folder. (This is trivial to do with Outlook Express 6 rules.) But it would be a *local* folder. See the problem?
However, as others have pointed out, IMAP4 is a *much* better choice for many reasons. I understand that you seem to be committed to POP3 and that your users seem to be utterly confused if, say, a new button were to appear on the toolbar, but consider that with POP3, they already have to deal with whether to leave a copy on the server or not if they use both a desktop at the office and a laptop while on the road. IMAP4 (or Web mail) would give them a unified view of their mail wherever they access it and have *one* "Sent" folder for legal purposes. I know that your initial request was for a simple solution involving POP3 and IMail rules, but the way I look at your business rules/requirements --- as opposed to getting fixated on e-mail protocols --, a simple solution already exists, namely IMAP4. I did a mass migration from POP3 to IMAP4 for hundreds of users two years ago for a client. Not even the CEO nor the receptionist were traumatized as it looked essentially the same in their GUI. Indeed, the users found it much simpler and applauded the move. (True story from the trenches.)
