Rule not working move emails with specific words in sender's addr

[Jason Wilson]

In outlook 2007 on Windows 7, I have a rule to move to move all my work
emails to a folder (called "Work"), but it does not work. This rule worked
prior to upgrading from Xp to Windows 7 and re-installing Outlook 2007. All
of my other rules still work but this one. It is a rule to move all emails
from my inbox with specific words in the Sender's address ("@mycompany.com")
to a different folder ("Work") . When I look at the rule in my list of
rules it is checked, and only says "(client only)" next to it, as do all my
other rules. I have tried to manually run it against emails in my inbox, but
it does not move the emails. Please help! I setup a test rule the same way
but instead specified a specific user instead, and that one moved the email
from that user. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7!

What type of email account do you have configured in Outlook 2007? If you
use Exchange server, the sender's address is not in that format.
