Currently for every project in my box I make a new folder under my personal folders list I name it the job number and name the exists in the subject line then I manually add all communications on this project to that folder.

I am looking for a script, a rule or some way to automate this process and not duplicate information so if I have a rule for <don@anywhere> .com that currently moves all email received from <don@[url removed, login to view]> to a folder call don. I don't want to have the email in 2 folders I want it in the correct project folder only.

## Deliverables

My offices uses outlook to view email I am looking for a script that will make a rule or run in outlook 2003 to current to perform the following task.

1st when a message comes in I want it to scan the subject for a project number then compare personal folders against job numbers. See example below.

2nd if no folder exists in personal folders I want it to create a folder with the project number for the folder name.

If a folder exists move to step 3.

3rd move the email to the folder matching project number.

We have job number in the subject line they range from 7 to 10 digits long these number are our reference to every project.

Currently for every project in my box I make a new folder under my personal folders list I name it the job number and name the exists in the subject line then I manually add all communications on this project to that folder.

This is how it is laid out now and I want to keep my lay out.

In-box (all incoming messages are here and my corporate mail box has a 200 meg limit so I need to keep it clean)

Personal Folders

Don (Contains Don's emails)

Mary (Contains Mary's emails)

Joe (Contains Joe's emails)

Project (Contains project folders and emails)

0000000 (Contains project 0000000 emails)

1234567 (Contains project 1234567 emails)

2345678 (Contains project 2345678 emails)

A normal project email will com in with a 7 to 10 digit number in the subject line 1st like this

Subject: 1234567 Dons barber shop

All I am concerned with is the digits 1234567 out of the subject line are the 1st 7 to 10 digit numbers.
