I want to know how to create Outlook 2007 rules

[kimavan]

I want to know how to create Outlook 2007 rules other than clicking the icon
on the toolbar. I have started using Mac OS X Leopard's Mail program and you
can create a single rule that says moves many different email addresses into
a single folder.

An example I need to fix is I bank at Wells Fargo and I receive many
different emails from them, but I want them ALL to go into the same folder.

What I have been doing is creating a rule for each Wells Fargo email that
was sent to me that didn't get moved to the folder by the previous rule(s).

I could end up with 6 or 7 or maybe 8 Wells Fargo rules when all I want is
one.

With Mac Mail's rules I can do this, can this be done in Outlook 2007?

Thanks

Yes, but you need to be more clear about how you are creating the 7
different rules for your Wells Fargo email and what you eventually want to
accomplish.

It all depends on what the addresses look like.
-If they are always the same, then you can specify those 6-8 addresses in
your single rule with the condition "from people or distribution list"
-If they are not always the same, but they always come from the same domain,
then you can create a single rule with the condition "with specific words in
the sender's address"
