File Email Options - Roady?

[John Z]

I currently have a number of different folders that I use to file my email
into once I finish reading and responding to each email. Almost without
exception however I can identify the exact folder I would want to file the
email to based on who was writing to me. Client A is a US Dealer and gets
filed in that folder. Supplier B is a filed with Suppliers, every time.

Is there a way to tag contacts as associated with a folder and have the mail
moved automatically into the various folder after I finish reading and
responding? I like having all my mail come into the Inbox first and not be
filtered before I read and deal with it.

Also, is there a way to automatically have the response I send be filed in
the same folder I (elect or otherwise assign) the incoming message to? Roady,
you got any love for me man? I deal with 100s of emails a day!

Thanks! John

On the first question, no. There are programs that can move messages
later - Auto-Mate is one.

On the second question, tools, options, email options, advanced - second
checkbox.

In addition to Diane's reply;
You can also move the emails directly via a rule and then use a Search
Folder to show you all unread mails in a single overview. This would be
similar as looking at your unsorted mails in the Inbox. You can set various
conditions for the Search Folder so that you only see the items that you
want.

You can also automate the sorting of your outgoing emails via rules.
