LOL...no scolding from me, Corey...that's what this group is for

Here's the down and dirty steps...some stuff may be different in different
versions of Outlook, but this should get you started...if you get stuck,
just come back with specific questions

First, right click on your Inbox in your Folder List (View menu>Folder List,
if you don't see it)
Choose New Folder
Name it MSO 
Now, go to the Tools menu and Choose Rules Wizard
Choose to start with a blank rule
In the first step, choose Check messages as they arrive
Next
Choose With specific words in the Subject...then down at the bottom, click
on the underlined text "specific words"...type in [mso] (include the
brackets so you don't catch other stuff by mistake)
Click Add then OK
 Click Next
Choose "Move to specified folder"
Click on the underlined words at the bottom "specified folder" and browse to
your folder called MSO 
Click OK
Next you can setup any exceptions, but for now, don't bother, just click
next then Finished.

And that's it...now, you can make more folders and new rules based on this
one and just change the subject line text and destination folder....and each
of your group emails will automatically go to the right folder and you will
have no problem figuring out which mail came from which group.
