How to divert incoming mail to a different folder? 1

[jsteph]

Hi,
In Outlook 10, how do I divert incoming mail to a different folder--I tried going into:

Tools-->Options-->Mail/Setup-->Send/Recieve

Then I'd created a New Group, and removed (unchecked) one account from the original "All Accounts" group, and added that account to the new group. I'd also created a new datafile, new folders, etc. None of the new folders show up in the "Check folders to include in Send/Recieve" -- only the default Inbox.

I have several accounts on this machine, and I want each account's mail to go into a different folder.

The machine is logged onto as a single user--so it's too large a hassle to have to log off completely and log back onto the machine--which I believe may create a seperate folder instance at the Documents&Settings\username level if I somehow create a Windows User for each email account--but I do NOT want this--I want to log on to Windows as one user and divvy up each Email account to a different outlook folder.

Is this at all possible with Outlook 10?
Thanks,
--Jim

Create a rule to do the job.

Franklin,
Thanks, that does what I need. That functionality really extends the usefullness of Outlook, I guess I wasn't aware of that because the menu/dialog/option set/'nothermenu/'notheridalog/'notheroption set/etc. etc, maze that is Outlook Options had sytmied me from digging much into it, for fear that I may get lost and never find my way back.
