All incoming e-mail goes to single email received column. I would like to have e-mail from certain parties to go directly to a dedicated folder which I have hanging off the Input folder. How do I set this up?

WOW! Thanks! Perhaps I should pose this further question as a separate one. Forgive me if I should... How do I cause email from different parties to be announced with a distinct sound. "Ta-Daa" , "Ding" ... whatever?

The ToneQuilla addon can do that. I should say that I don't use it myself (I prefer my computers to be silent) but I have tried it and it seemed to do what it's supposed to do. I use a couple other of the same author's addons (FiltaQuilla, JunQuilla) and on the basis of their performance, I'd have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending any of this author's addons.
