I file email conversations in various folders. But every new email in that conversation goes to inbox, so I have to manually move it to the folder that contains the rest of the conversation. Is there a way for Outlook to do this automatically with all new emails?
What I want: Outlook will do the following automatically as long as it's running:
- For all unread emails in inbox…
- …if email is not the first in the conversation, search for folders where that conversation is stored.
- If found, move the new unread email to the first* folder it finds (except for Inbox, Trash, or Sent).
- Optionally: If there is more than one folder containing messages in the same conversation, then do nothing.
**If there is more than one folder containing messages in the same conversation, then do nothing*. (This extra rule is not necessary if it complicates the solution too much)
Thanks!

There is a "move" ribbon/action in outlook, the last item of it is "Always move messages in this conversation...". There you can specify, where to move the messages that arrive for a specific conversation. Unfortunatly you will have to do this for every conversation (not for every mail though). So far the fastest solution i could find for this problem.
