In Outlook, you can create a rule to auto move emails by sender to a specific folder.
1. Select the email you want to move all emails based on its sender, click "Rules" > "Always Move Message From".
2. In the "Rules and Alerts" dialog, you can select a folder to place the emails from the sender. Or click "New" to go to the "Create New Folder" dialog, give the new folder a name in "Name" textbox, select "Mail and Post Items" from "Folder contains" drop-down list, and then select an account to place the new folder in the "Select where to place the folder" section.
3. Click OK > OK, then all existing emails from this sender have been moved to the specified folder at the same time. From now on, all incoming emails from the sender will be auto moved to this folder.
