Is there a way to read messages THEN auto archive them using a rule?

I don't have Outlook 2007 available to check , but in Outlook 2010, the option Move Copy to Folder is immediately below the option to Move to Folder .

If it is not present in 2007, you will need a macro script run from a rule e.g.

Code:

Sub CopyToFolder(olItem As MailItem)
Dim oTargetFolder As Folder
Dim strFolderName As String
Dim oCopiedItem As MailItem
    strFolderName = "Copies"
    Set oTargetFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).folders(strFolderName)
    Set oCopiedItem = olItem.Copy
    oCopiedItem.Move oTargetFolder
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

where 'Copies' is the sub folder of Inbox that you wish to copy it to.
