I have a user request to be able to create a rule that would move an email in outlook 2003 that the user flagged for follow up to a specific folder. That seemed simple enough till he requested that depending on the flag color they were to be moved to a specific folder. Issue is that in outlook 2003 that's not an option when creating a rule. I know that this is very straight forward in outlook 2007 and 2010 and using the categories feature is very convenient as it displays as a list when you right click.... Though in 2003 categories are not so convenient.

as an example the user will flag for follow up as so...

Red Flag for sales

Blue Flag for requests

Green Flag for personal

They want a rule that will move all items with a red flag to the sales folder, Green flag to the requests folder and so on....

Thank you for your suggestions.
