Email to a Personal Folder

[mindful_learner]

I know it is possible to email direct to a Public Folder (you can
create a Contact for Public Folders and use this in the To: or CC:
fields).

Is there a way to email direct to a Personal Folder?

Thanks,
Mindful

You'd use a rule for that.

Thanks Sue,

What type of rule could you set? I guess the problem with a rule is
that you'd have to decide in advance which folder ALL mails get sent
to. I want to be able to decide quickly on a per mail basis.

I assumed that there was some pattern in your destination selection that would lend itself to rules based on sender, subject, etc. If not, then the only solution is to use VBA code. The sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1173 would apply if you always want to save the item in a folder in your default store (Exchange mailbox or Personal Folders .pst file).
