Creating folders is as simple as using the new mailbox button on the main mail screen when you're on the screen where you read your mail. Simply click the new mailbox button, and it'll walk you through the process. Rules are created in the preferences, (command-comma), select your account (though in your case, it probably isn't necessary since you only have one) then again, follow the prompts to setup your rule sets to move items into the newly created mailbox. You'll be asked things like what to match on, (subject, to, from, mail body, and so on) and then you'll be asked what to match, and other things, but those are really the only two you *need* to fill out, and save the rule, then tell it to apply to current messages, and the ones you already have will be moved into the new mailbox if they meet the criteria in the rule you just created, and new messages will be directed there automatically.
