Intelligent Quick Steps/folder+email automation
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there's a clever way to automate something that I do within Outlook every day.
I use Outlook to track projects by folder. The folder name for each project contains a date and a street address. Each email for a project contains the address. After I've concluded an email I've been manually dragging it to the project folder.
Is there a clever way to use Quick Steps to read the address from an email subject line and use it to move an email to the corresponding folder? I can't use rules for this because it would involve creating dozens of rules every week.
Thanks.

Hi frostycan, you have to hire somebody to write an Outlook script/ add-in.

Victor_Ivanidze thanks for the reply. I might just work the the Outlook API instead, but I'll look at a script/add-in instead.
Cheers.
