sort incoming emails into folders

[Catbert]

I am a total VBA novice - only started looking into it today so it all looks
a bit daunting

we have a number of different email addresses pointing to one user account -
I am wanting the incoming emails to be fildered and put into different
folders in the inbox of this account

eg (e-mail address removed) going into the dilbert folder
(e-mail address removed) going tinto the catbet folder etc.

also............... I want the sent items to go into the sent items folder
of this account not the default users sent items folder.

I know you can buy 3rd party plugins for outlook that do this but I want to
try and do this myself - I am sure it isn't that hard????!!

Any help would be fantastic

Cheers ears

The e-mail processing you describe can be handled by using the Rules Wizard
to move incoming e-mails based on the E-mail Account name to a designated
folder.

If you want to change the location of where sent messages are stored, you
can click the Browse button on the Message Options dialog (View -> Options
menu while within the e-mail), or you can set a predefined folder using a
macro as per my blog article:
