This is one of the most common rules users create. The basic premise is to scan new mail as it arrives and based on who the message is from, file the message to a corresponding folder. The from people list will be automatically populated with the "From" address(s) of the selected message(s) in your inbox before you click to create the rule. The move to folder will be suggested automatically based on your folder naming patterns and other algorithms. It may be blank initially, but should start to show suggestions as you build more rules.
After the rule is created, you can rename the rule, test the rule, or view the detailed rule property settings.
