I would add to CBanman's comments that you don't have to create folders for each sender. &nbsp;Simply keep all the emails in one folder, sort by sender, and show in groups. &nbsp;This will keep you from having thousands of folders/rules for a simple email archive.

My objective is that in Outlook whenever I get an email from someone I want to place a copy of that email into a folder named with that persons email address. &nbsp;Is this possible to do automatically or would it be too difficult?<br />
<br />
e.g.<br />
I get and email from Smith_John@foo.com<br />
place that email in a folder named<br />
Smith_John or Smith_John@foo or Smith_John@foo.com whichever is easiest.

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
