Do Outlook rules only apply to Inbox? Can they be applied to other folders? If so how - the dropdown at top of Rules and Alters dialog:
'Apply changes to this folder' only offers my 4 Inboxes - that is one Inbox for each of the 4 email accounts I have in Outlook -
Inbox [info@A.co.uk], Inbox [info@B.co.uk], Inbox [A@gmail.com], Inbox [B@gmail.com].
