Re: A rule for creating a folder based on sender's name and move messages to it

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



not natively, but it's possible as there are addins that do it. It's really
not a very good way to handle mail though - it's too easy to lose messages
this way.

Is there a way to create a rule, so that it:
1) looks at the sender of the incoming email
2)
a) moves message to a folder corresponding to sender's name, if folder
already exists; else
b) creates a personal folder with the sender's name and then move the
message into the new folder.
Example:
Incoming email from Angel Sodano.
Folder named "ANGEL SODANO" exists -> move message into this folder.
Incoming email from Angelo Sodano.
Folder named "ANGELO Sodano" does not exist -> create folder named
"ANGELO Sodano", move the new message into that folder.
