Hi Leo,
Very nice explanation.
However, when I try this I don't seem to have the option to just move an item to another folder. It only allows me to move a copy to another folder.
This way I end up with an email in my business folder and another in personal folder. Is there a box I haven't ticked/unticked?

Brilliant - it solved all my outlook emails into the right order.

This is great info... thanks!

Is there a way to configure Outlook to setup a default email "send" address that is specific to a particular folder OR to a particular "Personal Folder". I figured out how to create a seperate "Personal Folder" but it wont let me change the default email "Send" address without it affecting my other address.

I don't want to create another profile because then I would have to close outlook and open it up again to switch accounts. Right?

This was an excellently written instructional piece. Well Done! Super easy for a layperson like me to follow. Thanks for writing it.

Fantastic. But seems not working with Outlook Connector. In the step of "move it to the specified folder", doesn't show 'Personal Folders' :(
Thanks
