Moving messages to a secondary mailbox

I have a rather unique situation going on with a 2 person department. They
both need to operate a secondary mailbox for departmental mail. They both log
in to their personal mailbox and have the secondary mailbox added through
'e-mail accounts'. The problem I have is that any messages sent on behalf of
the departmental account is automatically stored in the personal 'Sent Items'
folder. They both need to see what has been sent from the departmental
account and at the moment they have to move messages manually from their
personal sent items to the departmental sent items folder.

I would like to automate this by either creating a custom form for all
messages sent on behalf of the department which, via a macro, moves all sent
messages to the appropriate sent items folder, or coding this functionality
into a new send button (or the existing one if possible).

Which of the above solutions would you recommend and is there a better
resolution?

Thanks for the help.
 
Neither of the solutions you suggest would work. You'd need an add-in or VBA code on each sender's machine to move the item from that user's Sent Items folder to the other mailbox's Sent Items folder. That's pretty much what this add-in does -- http://www.ivasoft.biz/unisent.html
