folders in inbox

Can anyone tell me how to create folders within the inbox that keeps all my
mail serperated by sender? I would like the mail to be automatically dropped
into the senders file folder. In Outlook Express I had no troubles setting
this up.

Re: folders in inbox

Click on File - New - Folder...
Put them under Local Folders, not under Inbox.

You can create message rules to move messages.
Tools - Message Rules - Mail...
New
1. [x] Where the From line contains people

2. [x] Move it to the specified folder

3. click on "contains people"
in the box, type in the person's email address (or part of it)
click on "Add"
ok
4. enter a name for this rule
ok
ok

Re: folders in inbox

You set it up exactly like you did in OE.
Nothing has changed in that regard.
