Ne'er did I think that my perceived emergency would cause such confusion.

I don't filter/sort anything other than certain individuals/spams.  My 
multiple posting was under the philosophy "run it up the flagpole and see 
who salutes".  Time seemed of the essence and so I sent the flag up several 
poles.

Well, I got all three PLUS a copy in my out box. I'm getting good at 
hitting the delete button.

Yes. go to tools/filters and in the first drop down menu in the "match" 
section, after the word "header", you will see a "reply to" option.

Under "action" you can then "transfer to" any mailbox by clicking on the 
following button to chose from any of your mailboxes.

I don't do it personally so I don't have to search all over for new messages.
