Richard Justice posted instructions for OE that I imagine also apply to
Outlook. I've copied them below, along with a follow-up from Michael G that
might be helpful.
This example will be for making a filter for the jaws users list. It is only
a sample rule to give you the idea how these things are created. Once you
understand the concept you'll be able to create other rules for yourself.
First make a folder named jaws users.
To do so press control shift E, type jaws users, then tab and arrow up to
Local folders, then hit enter.
Press alt T, then R to take you to message rules
Enter on mail.
Tab over to New and press the space bar.
Arrow down until you hear where the subject line contains specific words and
press the space bar.
Tab once to the Actions list. You will hear "Move it to the specified
folder."
Again, press the space bar.
Tab once to the rules description dialog and down arrow one time.
You will hear where the subject line contains specific words.
Hit enter.
Type in [jaws_users].
Tab one time to Add and press enter.
Now tab until you hear OK and press enter.
You will be back at the rules description dialog.
Now down arrow two times and you will hear specified.
Hit enter.
Now you will up or down arrow until you hear the name of your folder spoken,
jaws users.
Tab over to Ok and hit enter.
Now tab once and hit the back space till the edit field is empty, give the
Rule a name such as jaws users.
Now tab to ok and hit enter. Tab to apply and enter, enter on the OK button
Then on close, tab to OK and enter.
Michael G replies. Thanks for putting this information up. I just finished
an audio review/demonstration of how to subscribe to mailing lists and set
them up in Outlook Express using Message Rules. I'm going to be submitting
the recording to ACB Radio's Main Menu web site. The one difference I had in
my instructions is to use the email address found in the To: field instead
of the subject line. You're more likely to have Outlook Express capture and
filter the email since for the most part, anyone submitting a message to
this list will be sending it to the address that is found in the To: field.
You never know what words will be in the Subject field and therefore,
Outlook might miss it. I have a sneaky suspicion that most people who decide
to give up on mailing lists are the ones who aren't using Message Rules.
They get so many messages in their Inbox that they get tired of it and
decide to unsubscribe.

I am using outlook 2003, windows XP pro and JAWS 7. I heard that there
is a way that you can make folders for groups and people and when an E
mail comes in for that group or person it will go to that folder. Could
someone help on how to set this up. Thanks in advance
