We have email folders with unique names. We want incoming and outgoing emails where the subject line contains/matches the folder name to be copied to that folder.
Any help for a complete novice would be appreciated.

Hi @RobElliott
Not sure if I sent my reply correctly a few days ago....
We want to manually create an email folder with a unique name. Then, automatically copy incoming/sent emails where the subject matches the folder name, to that folder.
If you can assist, you are a genius.
I thought that's what my response did. You could also have another flow that looks at the Sent items folder as well and also copies or moves the email to that folder.

@RobElliott we don't have to create a flow for every folder that is created. Using the subject line, can it look for a matching folder with the same name then if there's a match, trigger the copy email to folder?
@D_Mac oh I see, sorry I misunderstood. There's no action to list all Outlook folders which is a shame as it would be really useful. there's a USer Voice request for it at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Get-all-folders-action-for-Outlook-Tasks/idi-p/83291
