I'll take a shot at it. If I understand you, you simply make a mail 
action that checks the from line for each of the participants. So that 
would be four filter actions. The result of all those actions is to go to 
the folder you designate.

In the Mail Actions list, you can make a couple of choices after the "If 
it contains... (Test) ". I mean the "If True" and the "If False" columns, 
after the "Test". You should have all the "IF True" columns set to "Apply 
Actions". You should have all your "If False" Columns set to, "Go To Next 
Line", except for the last one. The last entry should have "Don't Apply 
Actions".

I goofed for a while because I didn't notice that the last action on my 
spam filter was set to  "Apply Actions". So whatever happened, all my 
mail after the spam filter, went to spam.

One other point. The position of your filter makes a difference. If the 
people in your group have any other information that might make them fall 
into another category, say for example one was from the Emailer list and 
you already have a filter that routes any message with Emailer in it's 
subject to the Emailer folder, then you need to move your group folder 
closer to the top of the filter list.

As far as filtering the outboxes. I am afraid that is not something that 
Emailer can do. PowerMail does though, should you get ready to ever move 
on. It seems to be what Emailer would have become if it were still being 
developed. The best advice I have heard in Emailer, to track outgoing 
messages, is to move them, by hand, into the Groups folder (Your groups 
target folder) before you send them. If a message is set to go out, it 
won't need to be in the "Out" folder before it goes. That way it also 
wont be moved to your sent folder automatically (assuming you have that 
preference set up). After it is sent, it will remain in the same group 
folder.

I hope that helps.
