Any suggestions? This (filtering ingoing _and outgoing_ messages on the fly to folders) is actually easier than any other mail package I've come across because of a very nice feature. Go to the Inbox, select a message in the message list and press Ctrl-Shift-F or right mouse button | Specials | Create filter ...; the dialog box that pops up on doing this is self-explanatory, creating the filter for you (which would otherwise involve a visit to Account | Sorting Office/Filters). You can also set up the mirror image of such filters for outgoing messages (go to Sent Mail once the reply has been sent and do the same thing) to send them where you want; by making both Move to folder: folders the same you _can_ have sent messages and replies next to each other.
