Using Outlook 2003
I get many messages from different senders but the same domain,
([email protected], *info*@msdn.microsoft.com ect...) How can
I create a rule to move all e-mail from one domain to a single folder??
 
use just microsoft.com in the from field of the rule.

Gosh, that is simple. Go to the mailbox. Create a subfolder for a desired
domain. do not go there yet. Call (click) tools->Rules->Mail->New {create
rule or Add a rule}.

Then create the rule:

"On income message if the field from {sender address} cointans {words}
[desired.domain] move the message to [the_folder_you_have just_created]"

{ and } embrace my comments

That is all.

Thank you Diane.
My problem is I was trying to use wild cards (ie.. @*.microsoft.com, ect...).

Isn't there something consistent on those domain names?

Go for a rule that has "specific words in the sender's address".

If "microsoft.com" does not work for all messages, you can have more
than one "Or" entry in that area.
