You could use rules, but honestly, with that much data, presuming it's
important enough to keep, I wouldn't want it in a PST format at all. What
about setting up a public folder for this purpose and manually moving your
client folders there? I do this, and manually move all relevant messages to
the proper folder, by selecting them & right-click/move to folder. You can
also grab your sent items this way if you open a message in Outlook, use
tools | find all...related messages - then select everything it finds,
right-click/move to folder.

PST files are not the best way to go, IMHO.

You really want to keep your mailbox a LOT smaller than 12GBin
general....and mind you don't keep too many items in a single folder, as
you'll have performance problems galore.
