To create rules to sort messages by mail account

For Outlook 2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode and Outlook 97 and Outlook 98, here are two ways to do something similar, sorting mail into different folders by building rules based on the To: address.

Method #1: In Contacts or the Personal Address Book, create an entry for each of the e-mail addresses that people use to send messages to you. For each of those addresses, create a rule with the condition "sent to people or distribution list", pick your own address from the address book, and move the items to a different foler.

Method #2: For each of your e-mail addresses, create a rule with the condition "with specific words in the recipient's address," entering your address for the specific words.

Note that neither of these methods is likely to capture all the messages sent to you via a particular service, since they don't handle distribution lists, which have their own To addresses.
