What I proposed actually requires x filters, one for each other_x.  This 
particular problem could be solved with 2*x filters.  There would be two 
filters for each person.  For example, for other_1:

1st filter:

   h.from="other_1"
   move to folder_1

2nd filter:

   h.from="diehlk@uncwil.edu" & h.to="other_1"
   move to folder_1
