I'm not sure whether I've got your intentions clear.
1) When you send mail to multiple recipients, with several among them
for whom you've got a separate folder, you want to store instances of
that message in each of their folders. Well, that can be done.
2) When you receive a message, that's not only addressed to you, but
also to one or more of your regular contacts, you'd like to place
the message not only to the sender's folder, but also to the
folders of those respective contacts. Actually that even easier
than the first case.
So let's begin with the easy (second) case.
Create for all of your contacts with their own folders this rule:
-Incoming filter
-Source folder: Inbox
-Target folder: Inbox
-String: contact address
-Present: yes
-Location: Recipient
-At the 'Action' tab: Choose 'Copy to folder'
-At the 'Options' tab: Check 'Continue processing with other filters'
Now place this series of filters as the first incoming filters or at
least above your filters that move the messages based on their sender.
Now we go for the first case.
Create for all of your contacts with their own folders this rule:
-Outgoing filter
-Source folder: Outbox
-Target folder: Outbox
-String: contact address
-Present: yes
-Location: Recipient
-At the 'Actions' tab: Choose 'Copy to folder'
-At the 'Options' tab: Check 'Continue processing with other filters'
Now you'll say that this is basically the filter as before, you're
right in that, but we aren't done yet. In the other case the moving
from the inbox was based on filters you'd already installed, but here
you'll have to decide what to do with the filtered messages.
Create an Address Book group with all of your regular contacts, call
it 'Contacts'
Now create a new filter
-Outgoing filter
-Source folder: Outbox
-Target folder: Trash
-String: .
-Present: yes
-Location: Kludges
-At the 'Options' tab: Don't check 'Continue processing with other filters'
-At the 'Advanced' tab: Check 'Adresses must be listed in Address Book'
Select 'All recipients'
Select the 'Contacts' AB group
This deletes all messages that are only sent to your regular contacts,
therefore this filter should be run after the copy-filters.
