*Some* filters may not work if you don't use exchange (they usually aren't even an option if you don't use echange), but most will... and unlike with Exchange, you can make as many filters as you need. :) All of the Outlook 2003 filters should work.
Did you repoint the rules to the folders? This is not always necessary if you upgraded over 2003, but usually is if you moved to a new machine.
How do the rules read?
Do they work if you use Run Rules Now?

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?
