Sorting Mail

In O E. I have my ordinary plus.com address and also an org one I wish to separate the mail, I presume it all comes to plus.com and I have tried to put filters to put the org mail  in a different folder but they dont seem to work ( I have catch all on) How would be the best way to do this Thanks for help

Re: Sorting Mail

All POP3 accounts deliver mail to your Inbox so you have to use a rule to move them to separate folders.
You can do it via the OE rules as I have many POP3 accounts, both on the same domain and on different domains all going to sub-folders under inbox. Note: the folder you want the email copied into must be created first.
An example rule where I check the to and cc is as follows:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the To or CC line contains
'status@myusername.plus.com'
Move it to the Service Status folder
    and Stop processing more rules
Another example where I test who the email is from, in this case its the emails from PlusNet support:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains 'support@plus.net'
Move it to the PN Support folder
    and Stop processing more rules
Note the last bit - Stop processing rules - which means after the rule has moved the email don't process any further rules on the message which may move it elsewhere or even delete it.

Re: Sorting Mail

Just in case the Original Poster needs a bit more help...
Message Rules in OE can be found on the <Tools> drop-down menu. Run your pointer down to <Message rules> and, on the sub-menu, click <Mail>.  Then proceed as suggested by Peter.
I hope this is useful, and I'm not just being patronising. It can be a bit difficult to tell what is being asked.  Smiley
