Apologies.I missed inserting the "extra" click in the path. Tm's suggestion might be a good compromise. Only ammendment to it is that you would click , in "View", "Sort By" and then "From". But this would ,l as TM suggests, only categorise them.
However, I may be lost as to what you are trying to achieve. I have just experimented with my suggestion and it worked for me.
1. I selected, in the Nav pane, my account.
2. I right clicked this account and selected Ne folder. I called this, in my case "Copies"
3. In the previously mentioned Message rules, I selected "Where the "From Line contains people.
4. I then selected the bottom choice "contains...." In my test, I put, for example "Microsoft"
5.In the middle window "Copy to a specific folder"
6. At the bottom again I selected the chosen account and my new "Copies" folder.
Apply Rule, "Apply Now"
All the mail from Microsoft in this case, was copied to my new folder.
