Can someone help me with changing the macro "Macro to file Outlook email by sender's display name" in order to file the emails by sender's email address?
 
Hi Diane,

Yes I was looking at the one at slipstick.com

Problem is if the sender sends from multiple PC's from the same account and the "Name" is not the same then you have multiple folders but emails are from the same abc.abc@abc.com for eg.
 
Diane,
it possible to group emails per sender in sub folders sent from the same domain?

If I have for eg. more than one person from a company sending me emails "xx@au.abb.com", zz@au.abb.com" I want all from xx in one folder another from zz and the root folder under inbox show for eg. au.abb.com

Thanks
 
It is possible, but it requires more code. you'll need to use regex or instr to get the address and create the folders. I'd probably file by domain only and use group by views to group by the sender address using the method here: http://www.slipstick.com/exchange/adding-extended-mapi-fields-to-outlook/

This edit should get the part after the @, in your example, it would be au.abb.com
Code: 
    If objVariant.Class = olMail Then 
       intDateDiff = DateDiff("d", objVariant.SentOn, Now) 
         ' I'm using 40 days, adjust as needed. 
       If intDateDiff > 4 Then 
         sSenderName = objVariant.SenderEmailAddress 
      End If 
 
sSenderName= Right(sSenderName, Len(sSenderName) - InStr(1, sSenderName, "@")) 
 
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders(sSenderName)

i think this snippet will work to use a domain.com\alias@domain.com folder format - i didn't test it, but if it doesn't work, its very close to what you need.

Code: 
Dim objDomainFolder As Outlook.Folder
   If objVariant.Class = olMail Then 
       intDateDiff = DateDiff("d", objVariant.SentOn, Now) 
         ' I'm using 40 days, adjust as needed. 
       If intDateDiff > 4 Then 
         sSenderName = objVariant.SenderEmailAddress 
      End If 
 
sDomain = Right(sSenderName, Len(sSenderName) - InStr(1, sSenderName, "@")) 
 
On Error Resume Next 
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders(sDomain) 
 
If objDestFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain)
      End If 
 
On Error Resume Next 
Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders(sSenderName) 
 
If objDomainFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders.Add(sSenderName) 
       End If 
            objVariant.Move objDomainFolder 
            'count the # of items moved 
            lngMovedItems = lngMovedItems + 1 
            Set objDestFolder = Nothing 
  Set objDomainFolder= Nothing 
        End If 
    End If 
        Err.Clear 
    Next

Keep in mind that filing by sender makes a mess of threads involving multiple people, although Outlook's conversation view mitigates that somewhat.

Edited to fix the code - was missing on error resume next's and clearing objDomainFolder
 
I think I created a nice loop.

all 10146 emails gave me a message box (Moved) and had to press ok, after that all 10146 messages opened in outlook and did not move.

Code: 
Public Sub MoveSelectedMessages() 
    Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application 
    Dim objNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace 
    Dim objDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder 
    Dim objSourceFolder As Outlook.Folder 
    Dim currentExplorer As Explorer 
    Dim Selection As Selection 
    Dim obj As Object 
   
   Dim objVariant As Variant 
    Dim lngMovedItems As Long 
    Dim intCount As Integer 
    Dim intDateDiff As Integer 
    Dim strDestFolder As String
  Set objOutlook = Application 
    Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
    Set currentExplorer = objOutlook.ActiveExplorer 
    Set Selection = currentExplorer.Selection 
    Set objSourceFolder = currentExplorer.CurrentFolder 
   
   For Each obj In Selection 
        Set objVariant = obj 
    If objVariant.Class = olMail Then 
       intDateDiff = DateDiff("d", objVariant.SentOn, Now) 
         ' I'm using 40 days, adjust as needed. 
       If intDateDiff > 4 Then 
         sSenderName = objVariant.SenderEmailAddress 
      End If 
     
 
On Error Resume Next 
sDomain = Right(sSenderName, Len(sSenderName) - InStr(1, sSenderName, "@")) 
 
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders(sDomain) 
 
If objDestFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain) 
 
On Error Resume Next 
Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders(sSenderName) 
 
If objDomainFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders.Add(sSenderName) 
       End If 
            objVariant.Move objDomainFolder 
            'count the # of items moved 
            lngMovedItems = lngMovedItems + 1 
            Set objDestFolder = Nothing 
  Set objDomainFolder = Nothing 
        End If 
    End If 
        Err.Clear 
      
       ' Display the number of items that were moved. 
  MsgBox "Moved " & lngMovedItems & " messages(s)." 
   
   Set currentExplorer = Nothing 
    Set obj = Nothing 
    Set Selection = Nothing 
    Set objOutlook = Nothing 
    Set objNamespace = Nothing 
    Set objSourceFolder = Nothing 
    Next 
  
   End Sub
 
Ouch. They shouldn't open, there is nothing in the code to open them.

This moves: objVariant.Move objDomainFolder
it would be objVariant.display to open them.

You're missing an End If here:
If objDestFolder Is Nothing Then
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain)
end if
On Error Resume Next

My curiosity got the best of me after I posted it, and i tested it. My first try created the domain.com folders but put all the mail in one folder - because of the missing Set objDomainFolder = Nothing, which i came back and added.
 
This one works well, but only moves some messages.

Code: 
Public Sub MoveSelectedMessages() 
    Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application 
    Dim objNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace 
    Dim objDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder 
    Dim objSourceFolder As Outlook.Folder 
    Dim currentExplorer As Explorer 
    Dim Selection As Selection 
    Dim obj As Object 
   
   Dim objVariant As Variant 
    Dim lngMovedItems As Long 
    Dim intCount As Integer 
    Dim intDateDiff As Integer 
    Dim strDestFolder As String
  Set objOutlook = Application 
    Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
    Set currentExplorer = objOutlook.ActiveExplorer 
    Set Selection = currentExplorer.Selection 
    Set objSourceFolder = currentExplorer.CurrentFolder 
   
   For Each obj In Selection 
        Set objVariant = obj 
    If objVariant.Class = olMail Then 
       intDateDiff = DateDiff("d", objVariant.SentOn, Now) 
         ' I'm using 40 days, adjust as needed. 
       If intDateDiff > 4 Then 
         sSenderName = objVariant.SenderEmailAddress 
      End If 
     
 
On Error Resume Next 
sDomain = Right(sSenderName, Len(sSenderName) - InStr(1, sSenderName, "@")) 
 
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders(sDomain) 
 
If objDestFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain) 
 
On Error Resume Next 
Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders(sSenderName) 
 
If objDomainFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders.Add(sSenderName) 
       End If 
            objVariant.Move objDomainFolder 
            'count the # of items moved 
            lngMovedItems = lngMovedItems + 1 
            Set objDestFolder = Nothing 
  Set objDomainFolder = Nothing 
        End If 
    End If 
        Err.Clear 
  Next 
        ' Display the number of items that were moved. 
  MsgBox "Moved " & lngMovedItems & " messages(s)." 
   
   Set currentExplorer = Nothing 
    Set obj = Nothing 
    Set Selection = Nothing 
    Set objOutlook = Nothing 
    Set objNamespace = Nothing 
    Set objSourceFolder = Nothing 
    End Sub
 
Getting a compile error "end if without block if"
Code: 
Public Sub MoveSelectedMessages() 
    Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application

       If intDateDiff > 4 Then 
         sSenderName = objVariant.SenderEmailAddress 
      End If 
     
 
On Error Resume Next 
sDomain = Right(sSenderName, Len(sSenderName) - InStr(1, sSenderName, "@")) 
 
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders(sDomain)

    Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain) 
End If 
 
On Error Resume Next 
Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders(sSenderName) 
 
If objDomainFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders.Add(sSenderName) 
End If 
            objVariant.Move objDomainFolder 
            'count the # of items moved 
            lngMovedItems = lngMovedItems + 1 
            Set objDestFolder = Nothing 
  Set objDomainFolder = Nothing 
        End If 
    End If 
        Err.Clear 
  Next
       ' Display the number of items that were moved. 
  MsgBox "Moved " & lngMovedItems & " messages(s)." 
   
   Set currentExplorer = Nothing 
    Set obj = Nothing 
    Set Selection = Nothing 
    Set objOutlook = Nothing 
    Set objNamespace = Nothing 
    Set objSourceFolder = Nothing 
  
   End Sub
 
you have too many End if's - you added one here:
If objDestFolder Is Nothing Then
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain)
On Error Resume Next

But didn't remove one of the two at the end.
Set objDomainFolder = Nothing
End If
End If
Err.Clear
Next

This works here -

Code: 
Public Sub MoveSelectedMessages() 
    Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application 
    Dim objNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace 
    Dim objDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder 
    Dim objSourceFolder As Outlook.Folder 
    Dim currentExplorer As Explorer 
    Dim Selection As Selection 
    Dim obj As Object 
  
   Dim objVariant As Variant 
    Dim lngMovedItems As Long 
    Dim intCount As Integer 
    Dim intDateDiff As Integer 
    Dim strDestFolder As String
   Set objOutlook = Application 
    Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
    Set currentExplorer = objOutlook.ActiveExplorer 
    Set Selection = currentExplorer.Selection 
    Set objSourceFolder = currentExplorer.CurrentFolder 
  
   For Each obj In Selection 
        Set objVariant = obj 
    If objVariant.Class = olMail Then 
       intDateDiff = DateDiff("d", objVariant.SentOn, Now) 
         ' I'm using 40 days, adjust as needed. 
       If intDateDiff > 4 Then 
         sSenderName = objVariant.SenderEmailAddress 
      End If 
    
 
On Error Resume Next 
sDomain = Right(sSenderName, Len(sSenderName) - InStr(1, sSenderName, "@")) 
 
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders(sDomain) 
 
If objDestFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain) 
End If 
On Error Resume Next 
Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders(sSenderName) 
 
If objDomainFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders.Add(sSenderName) 
       End If 
            objVariant.Move objDomainFolder 
            'count the # of items moved 
            lngMovedItems = lngMovedItems + 1 
            Set objDestFolder = Nothing 
  Set objDomainFolder = Nothing 
        End If 
        Err.Clear 
  Next 
        ' Display the number of items that were moved.

Hi Diane, I am getting there...

works but only moves the first message in inbox to the folder and subfolder then stops.

Code: 
Public Sub MoveSelectedMessages() 
    Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application 
    Dim objNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace 
    Dim objDestFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder 
    Dim objSourceFolder As Outlook.Folder 
    Dim currentExplorer As Explorer 
    Dim Selection As Selection 
    Dim obj As Object 
   
   Dim objVariant As Variant 
    Dim lngMovedItems As Long 
    Dim intCount As Integer 
    Dim intDateDiff As Integer 
    Dim strDestFolder As String
  Set objOutlook = Application 
    Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
    Set currentExplorer = objOutlook.ActiveExplorer 
    Set Selection = currentExplorer.Selection 
    Set objSourceFolder = currentExplorer.CurrentFolder 
   
   For Each obj In Selection 
        Set objVariant = obj 
    If objVariant.Class = olMail Then 
       intDateDiff = DateDiff("d", objVariant.SentOn, Now) 
         ' I'm using 40 days, adjust as needed. 
       If intDateDiff > 4 Then 
         sSenderName = objVariant.SenderEmailAddress 
      End If 
     
 
On Error Resume Next 
sDomain = Right(sSenderName, Len(sSenderName) - InStr(1, sSenderName, "@")) 
 
Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders(sDomain) 
 
If objDestFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDestFolder = objSourceFolder.Folders.Add(sDomain) 
End If 
 
On Error Resume Next 
Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders(sSenderName) 
 
If objDomainFolder Is Nothing Then 
    Set objDomainFolder = objDestFolder.Folders.Add(sSenderName)
           objVariant.Move objDomainFolder 
            'count the # of items moved 
            lngMovedItems = lngMovedItems + 1 
            Set objDestFolder = Nothing 
  Set objDomainFolder = Nothing 
        End If 
    End If 
        Err.Clear 
  Next
       ' Display the number of items that were moved. 
  MsgBox "Moved " & lngMovedItems & " messages(s)." 
   
   Set currentExplorer = Nothing 
    Set obj = Nothing 
    Set Selection = Nothing 
    Set objOutlook = Nothing 
    Set objNamespace = Nothing 
    Set objSourceFolder = Nothing 
  
   End Sub
