Try something like this:
1st: make an address book "Folder" containing just Sally Smith. Another
with Just John Doe. (Click folder icon in Address book window toolbar).
PowerMail Filter:
If "From" "is in Folder" "Sally Smith"
Move Message into Folder: "Sally Smith"
Next PowerMail Filter:
If "From" "is in Folder" "John Doe"
Move Message into Folder: "John Doe"
And so forth.
You can use during mail collection to auto-file messages, or (uncheck
the box to not Filter incoming messages) then Select messages and
"Perform all filters" on them. (option apple m).
It is not a single script, but it may meet your criteria anyway.
Hope this helps.
Best,

>>Hi all,
