Direct Incoming email to folders 1

[gtgren]

I have outlook and outlook express and I have 4 emails setup in the account - example:
1@email.com 2@email.com 3@email.com 4@email.com

I would like to have 1@email.com incoming email to go to the folder that I have name “folder1“ etc.. How do I do this in Outlook or Outlook express?

Use Mail Rules (OE) or Rules Wizard (Outlook). The exact wording will vary depening on which mail program but should be something like:

1. When mail arrives, if the To: or CC: line contains 1@email.com move it to folder1 and stop processing more rules
2. When mail arrives, if the To: or CC: line contains 2@email.com move it to folder2 and stop processing more rules

....and so on. You may need other rules for conditions like: if a message was sent to 2 of the addresses that you have. For mail rules info, use the search function in forum605 for mail rules

another suggestion is to say, where the e-mail arrives through AccountX, move to FolderX. Again, as smah pointed out, working will vary depending on outlook or OE

And setting up rules in 2003 is even easier, but you didn't mention your version.
