Automatically move messages from domain to a folder

[ryan.small]

This should be a piece of cake (or at least it was in outlook express).


I want to create a rule that moves all incoming emails from a specific
domain (eg. <anyone>@mycompany.com) into a specific subfolder (eg.
Coworkers) within my inbox.

I've tried all kinds of configuration options for the rule and nothing
works; they still go to my general inbox. It seems like configuring
the rule as such would work, but no luck:

"Apply this rule after the message arrives
with mycompany.com in the sender's address
move it to the Coworkers folder"

This is the only rule that I have configured (so there shouldn't be any
conflicts).

Our company is using Microsoft Exchange Server, but i'm using Microsoft
Outlook installed locally onto my workstation.

Thanks,

Ryan

So, what happens? What are the symptoms? What version of Outlook and
Exchange are you using? What type of account, if you're not using an
Exchange account?

After more trial and error, it seems as if configuring a rule based
upon "with specific words in the sender's address" is based upon their
full name (eg. Mary Smith) rather than their email address (eg.
(e-mail address removed)).

The problem is that the email is skipped/ignored by the rule which
means that it just goes into the general inbox; rather than the
"Coworkers" subfolder.

Microsoft Outlook 2003 is installed on my workstation; and we are
running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.

This is really driving me nuts and I can't believe something so simple
is causing me so much grief <grrrrr...>.

I also tried to configure the rule based upon the information supplied
here but I get the same results (email goes into general inbox):
