separating e-mails conveniently

[Aamir]

Need to setup Outlook to do following:
--if an e-mail comes in with the subject header having, say a project number
1357YY , outlook sends it right away to folder named 1357YY IN
--If a general message comes in, it sends it to a folder named GENERAL IN
--Similarly for sent messages 1357YY SENT and GENERAL SENT
--If a message comes in with 1357YY somewhere in the text, not necessarily
in the subject, would outlook still send it to 1357YY IN

one more can the program use colors e.g. we make a rule that message with
1357YY gets a red color and goes into folder called RED IN, with project
97633 into green, ---?
Thank you

Open Help and enter "create a rule". Read.

Brian, you are obviously a MVP--

I'm an Outlook MVP only.

2. in the how to seriesthat you refer to is that your work, and is it both

It's not my work, but that of another MVP. I believe he's authored at least
one Outlook book.

3. you mentioned thecolor aspect for e-mails--do you have another one for
segregation of emails, both in box and sent, based on say differently worded
folders

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain it in greater
detail?
