First, let me make sure I understand what is happening: You have a single
POP3 server that receives mail addressed to two different addresses. (I
assume
one address/server forwards mail to another or something like that.....) So
for all mail coming through that single POP3 server you want messages
addressed
to (e-mail address removed) to go to one folder and messages addressed to
(e-mail address removed) to go to a different folder.
(All of the following is based on some quick trials I did on Outlook 2003,
but
I assume its basically the same in Outlook XP......)
Can't you create a rule that looks for a To: address and then move that
mail
to a different folder? The folder 'Inbox' appears to be a reserved folder
name,
so you can't rename that. But under/within Inbox you could make a folder
Inbox2ndaddress or something like that. Then have the rule identify one of
the
addresses as a To: address and move just those messages to that other
folder.
Then, by default, all your other mail would be in Inbox.
OK....on my re-reading of my posting I'm guessing that ALL mail comes in
with
the same To: address. So the Outlook rules can't delineate the difference.
You could use POPFile to classify your mail. Its unbelievably smart - like,
scary smart.
Do a little training and it just starts to figure out where mail should go.
Its mostly
talked about in the context of managing high volumes of spam, but it
classifies mail
any way you want. I love it. Its the best software I've used in YEARS. If
you and
others are interested in more details (configuration, use, etc.) let me
know. You can
learn about it at
http://popfile.sourceforge.net/
Oh, and its free.
