I check email coming to several different addresses. Is there a program 
which can automatically sort mail into folders based on the address it 
was sent to, creating folders on the fly, rather than me having to 
create a new rule each time I create a new alias/address?

If God told you he didn't exist, would you believe him?

Well in Outlook Express you can click on the To heading, then they will be
sorted by who the email is sent to, even though they aren't actually put
into separate folders. I imagine most email clients will do a similar thing.

I don't suppose they realised that anyone would be so promiscuous about
creating new addresses. ;->

The original poster is on Windows, so he can't make use of all the
goodies we've become accustomed to for the last 20 years.

I use Thunderbird on WinXP-SP1. It creates a set of folders
for each e-mail address. Visit: http://mozilla.org for details.
