Mail filters in Lotus Notes

Hi group,

at home, I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my mail client, and I'm very happy 
with the way it allows me to setup mail filters to put mails in different 
folders when it comes in.

At work, however, we're forced to use Lotus Notes (version 6.5) and I 
would like to do the same thing kinda-sorta.

Is my understanding correct that I have to use the "rules" to accomplish 
this?

I've already tried to create a rule that puts mails to PCTech@xxxxxxxxxxxx 
in a folder, but it doesn't seem to work, and also I now get a "you've got 
new mail" window even when there's no new mail.

Any hints would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
