Outlook Rule to create a folder based on sender

[ctaloi]

Hello,

My goal is to write a rule that will:

-When a message is received
-Read "From X "
-Check to see if folder exists titled "From X"
-If exists copy message to that folder
-If folder does not exists
-Create a folder titled "From X"
-And copy the message to that folder

X = Who is sending me the message.

Anyone have any thoughts?

This can't be done except with VBA code. If you want to go that route,
you'll need to provide your Outlook version.

Hello,

Using Outlook 2003.
I thought it might have to be done using VB - Unfortunatly my
programming skills are pretty weak...Do you have any suggestions?

It looks like a complex task, but here's a thought -- why not use the view
to sort the messages? You can always expand/contract them using the "+"/"-".
