I was wondering if anyone knew of an add-on(s) for Outlook 2007 that will give users a simple "file" button that will file the email in a folder based on where other emails from that person are filed.  I'd also like a "send&file" that does something similar.  BTW, ideally the folder would be a shared folder on Sharepoint (not sure if they're treated differently).
I know I've seen this stuff before, but now that I'm looking for it, I can't find it.
Thanks!

The David Allen Company plugin does some of what you reference:
1.  It gives you a file button
2.  It provides a Send and File (as well as other options).

Sharepoint directories are not supported.

Some of what you're asking for is best provided through a good set of rules/filters.  You may want to check in on those tools.

Also, the Jello Dashboard is a tool along the same lines. I haven't tried it depth, so I don't know if it does what you need, but it's probably work looking at.

Yes, There are many like this. The GTD Add-in is very constrained - I
purchased and used a copy for six months until I discovered
ClearContext. Much "looser" on the GTD constraints and really just
enables me to file and define next actions as I process my inbox. But
it too is a bit constrained,... (just not as much). I feel that as we
get better with GTD, we need fewer "training wheels" (or guides to
keep us defining the edges).

While the add-in I think you are looking for is SpeedFiler.
