How to move incoming emails into a specified Inbox folder

[answers4lily]

I just created a new email account, which I access thru Outlook. When I
receive emails for this account, they go into the "inbox" general folder.
I've tried to create a rule so that emails are placed into a folder with the
same name as the new account. The problem is that when the rules wizard is
asking me to specify certain aspects of the new rule, I'm putting down the
wrong answers, which has the affect of changing the rules of the other email
accounts.

It might be easier to IM or talk on the phone. If anyone is in a position
to help me, my yahoo ID is: skbldr. If the phone works better, if you feel
comfortable giving me your number, I'd be happy to call you back so it's on
my dime (just let me know what a good time to call would be).

Thanks.

What do you mean by 'wrong answers' and have you set up multiple rules?
Also, what version of Outlook?

Sorry, but I imagine most people in here won't want to do this unless
they're being paid for consulting services. However, it's probably not
necessary anyway. There is free tech support in here and works for many -
just try providing more detail.
