    Move Inbox Subfolder Items by Category to Folder

    Hi,
    I would like to move items from the inbox to a different folder based on category. Because the category will be manually changed (to "done"), it won't be able to happen on send/receive.
    I'm familiar with VBA in Excel but not in Outlook.

    Any suggestions for how I might accomplish this? (Move from Florida inbox to Done inbox)

    Thank you.

    I've got this to work (am VERY excited!) - want to be able to find multiple categories, that is the next part of the puzzle.

    Well, I've spent the whole day on this, and while I did make great progress, it would seem that you cannot search a wildcard character on categories. So I'm thinking maybe do something like copy (through vba) the existing categories to some other field that I can search on. If anyone has ideas, I'd love some help.
    Thanks!
