Automatic folder creation within Outlook depending on ticket number

Question

(Uncertain where to go with this question and first time posting here)

Concept
Step 1: Email with brand new ticket number (6 digit number) comes in, if there is no folder with that number then folder will be created.
Step 2: When emails come in and they have a 6 digit number in subject or body, that already has a folder created for them, than they will be moved to that folder.

Now I know the second step can be done with rules but then step 1 would have to automatically generate that rule as well, I rather not have that much clutter created

The question is, would something like this be possible and what would be the suggested means of realizing this idea e.g. VB or Flows.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Found my macro... https://www.slipstick.com/developer/code-samples/vba-file-messages/

It watches the sent and inbox and moves mail to the client folder based on a code.

Answer 2

It will be most efficient to use a macro. I have a macro that does mostly what you need. I'll dig it up.

Answer 3

As I know, with Outlook rule or mail flow rule alone, it seems that you still could not achieve your requirements. So, please try the VBA method that Diane mentioned above to see if it helps.

Answer 4

In addition - if you need to have this functionality on many workstations you'd better create an add-in for Outlook.
