It does matter. If the code runs on the server then you will be able to
catch every message. If not then it´s necessary that OL is running.
For the OL side solution: For handling each incoming mail you can use
the Inbox´ ItemAdd event. (These event won´t fire if there are more than
16 items coming in at once).
For searching in the subject or body use the InStr function. If there´s
a match then call the folder´s Folders.Add function to create a
subfolder. Moving the mail works with MailItem.Move.
Please see also the VBA help for samples for the mentioned functions.
A really simple solution for deleting not used folders could be this:
Delete them each time OL starts if the folder is empty (Items.Count=0).
It doesn´t matter if a new e-mail comes in one minute later for that
folder because the folder will be created automatically again.
