New Outlook - Keep replies in folder
Reignofjerm / kyleengland / kpreisman,
The "When reply to a message that is not in the Inbox, save the reply in the same folder" is unavailable in New Outlook or Outlook for the web. Regardless of submitting an email from the inbox or folder, the email will be found in the Sent folder.
Microsoft has not indicated on the roadmap or message center whether this feature is being considered for future updates. I recommend that you submit feedback to Microsoft by click on Help | Feedback.

ReignofjermI'm starting to wonder whether there's an underlying issue with the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/overview APIs which is preventing this feature from working.
I've recently been trying to update an application which was using IMAP/SMTP to use the new Graph APIs. When it moves a sent message from the "sent items" folder to a specific folder, I occasionally end up with a blank draft message in the target folder, rather than the actual message which was sent.
I suspect this missing Outlook feature won't make an appearance until the underlying Graph API is updated to support it.
