Not only do I want Microsoft Outlook to automatically save my sent e-mails to
the normal "SENT ITEMS" folder, I want it to save to another folder I
specify. I want it to do this for every sent e-mail I send. I also want it
to save all my sent e-mails for many months until I go in and delete them as
needed.

The easiest method that I can think of is to create a Rule moving a copy of
whatever you send to a specific folder.

What's wrong with defining a send rule that uses "move a copy to
<specified folder>"? The rule will keep running as long as you leave it
enabled - as long as the rule gets reached (make sure any other send
rules won't make getting to this one or make it the first send rule;
that is, a send rule that fires that has the stop-clause prevents
getting later send rules).
