Question about Outlook Express

OS 9.2 Office 2011 updated.  About 6 months ago I tried to follow instructions to create Smart Files that would pull emails from multiple addresses into one Smart File.  I gave up concluding that if I wanted a Smart File I had to use Apple Mail.  Because I did not want to change from Outlook I have functioned without Smart Files.

I am an attorney.  In Entorouge I used the project to consolidate emails from different sources into one project (client/case) file.  In Outlook I cannot format the Smart File to cause multiple email addresses put into one Smart File.  

Six months have passed.  Is there anything new or something I missed that will allow Smart File settings to include multiple emails?

Also, even when I established single email Smart Files, the files disappeared after several day.  I recall a discussion about this problem and a fix but I can't find it in archives.
