I have made many folders in my MS Outlook 2003. Each folder corresponds to
a
department i handle. when I receive messages from a particular department,
I
receive it in my inbox and then i drag it to the corresponding folder. Is
it
possible that this happens automatically? for example, if i receive a
message
from "department A", it should directly go to the folder for department A,
rather than going to the inbox.
