Hi

I get emails from finance every day saying how much we have sold each day for that week, on Monday they send a final report for the whole week.

The emails are headed "Week 1 Sales Report" and "Week 1 Final Sales Report" but don't always come from the same person, I have a contacts folder for each department (there are about 30 people in each of the three departments I want to do this for, so rules are a bit impractical).

Is there a way to put these daily reports into a folder Finance->Sales->Daily Report, the weekly ones into a folder Finance->Sales and delete the daily reports?

You don't need to specificy the sender in the rules. Just specify the subjects in the rules.

I only want to move emails from that department, we get emails from elsewhere that would get mixed up with it.

Could you not add the contacts to a contact group and then specify in the rules the contact group? At the end of the day you are going to have to get all the contacts together anyway unless there is something else to distinguish the emails.

Ideally yes, they're all in a contact group anyway but its not possible to apply rules to a contact group is it? Whenever I've tried this it doesn't let me do it.

Ok your right. What you can do is open an email and type in the distribution list. Then expand it so it shows all the names. Copy those and paste them into the rule. Now you don't have to add them 1 at a time.

Thanks, that works great.
