You can achieve this + by setting the variables `message-directory` (which defines a base + directory) and `notmuch-fcc-dirs` which defines the subdirectory + relative to message-directory in which to save the mail. Enter a + directory (without the maildir /cur ending which will be appended + automatically). To customize both variables at the same time, use + the fancy command `M-x customize` `M-x + customize-apropos\(notmuch-fcc-dirs\)\|\(message-directory\)`. + This method will even allow you to select different outboxes + depending on your selected from address, if you need that + functionality. Please see the documentation on the variable in the + customization window for how to do so. * **How to customize notmuch-folders**
