Jeanny, you've brought up two items.
1. List your Mom's name, instead of her email address.
2. Move all of your Mom's messages to the MOM folder.
Others, wiser than I, say that you can't add your Mom's name to the
listing. I'm sure you can use color to highlight your Mom's messages
in the message list, but...
If your Mom is the only person who uses her email address to send
messages to you, and if you move all of the messages arriving in your
Inbox from your Mom's email address to the MOM folder, and nobody else
sends you messages from your Mom's email address, do you still need to
have each message listing in the MOM folder indicate that it is a
message is from Mom? Probably not. Just create the MOM folder and move
Mom's email into it.
1. Create the MOM folder.
In the TheBat! window
=====================
right click on the Inbox
select New
select Folder
Name: MOM
2. Create the filter.

I think that should do it.
