I'm trying to set a rule in Outlook to move any read message in the InBox to
a certain folder EXCLUDING the "unread" messages. I can not found any
"exclude" option to allow what I want. Could be a good sugestion for the
future versions of the tool.

Since rules can act only on messages as they come into your Inbox and are,
thus, unread when the rules run, what you want is not possible. It could be
done in a future version, I imagine, with a rule you would run manually, but
since incoming messages are always unread as they arrive, no automatic rule
could ever do it.
