How do I sort email messages into folders using Contact Company fi

[wasserschlact]

I cannot seem to easily create a rule to sort my incoming email messages into
different folders based on the Company field in my Contacts. Does anyone
know the best way? Do I have to go the route of creating a distribution list
first? This seems like a pain, especially since I cannot sort my Address
Book based on Company, so would have to hunt and peck for hours to create the
distribution lists.

Not quite what you asked for but may do the trick:

Make a rule that says if the Sender's Address includes @acorntraining.com.au
move them to the Acorn folder.

That is a good suggestion and one that I considered. There is a problem,
however, one of my vendors is a large bank with several divisions. Of these
divisions, I do business with with three. They all have the same domain
name, but I would like to separate them into different folders because they
provide different services.

I thought that the Company field would be a good field to sort because I can
modify the vendor contacts there easily. I may be forced to use Distribution
List for that vendor.
