How to automate placement of emails into folders

[slipstream99]

I have Outlook 2007 and have several email addresses set up on it. I have
created sub-folders under the Inbox folder, and have been dragging the emails
into them. A friend told me there is a way to automate this process, so when
an incoming email message arrives it is utomatically placed into its folder.

Can someone tell me how to set up Outlook to do this?

Go to Tools-Account Settings, highlight each account in turn (as long as
they are POP accounts) and at the bottom of the dialog box there's a button
that allows you to change the delivery location. This can be a different
folder, or even a separate pst file.

Sounds like your friend is suggesting that you use the rules wizard. I
believe you file the rules and alerts option under the Tools menu bar.
