Phil;
You can do this type of sorting yourself. The name format the emails 
arrive in can be set by you, and actually put into the folders you have 
set up.
 Mozilla Thunderbird will do this for you. It's actually a much better 
email program then OE. More versatile..better "junk mail" filters.

I just started using it last week, and it's so easy to set up.

Just haven't set up my Signature file yet.

It's coming...though.
