Thanks Diane,

I'm thinking it would be easier to have one large personal folder with
individual folders for each sender, a field for 'department' would
permit me to quickly sort them. I just thought that a pop-up menu
might save me some typing (once this is set up). So VBA wouldn't help
either I guess?
