filtering messages in Outlook 2007

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

Just upgraded to Outlook 2007 from 2003 and was surprised that my
filters, which direct messages to/from specific persons to designated
folders, did not work. I have tried editing them and then running, and
succeeded with one or two but not others.
From the Help files and a book I consulted, I have the impression that
filters may not work if you do not use an Exchange server, which I do
not (this is personal work, not connected with a business).

Because I am on a private community network rather than an ISP, I have
to use a web-based email client (gmail), which I then have forwarded
to Outlook. Given these conditions, how can I get my messages to
sort into folders?
