Rules to move mail "not-in-my-address-book" to a different folder
 

I've been trying to move mail from senders not in my address book to
another folder in outlook. I figured out a way to accomplish this but
it only seems to work when I manually run my rules.

1. I categorize all incoming mail as "unscreened"
2. I then check the sender against my address books and if found
change the category to "screened"
3. I then move the "unscreened" mail to a different folder.

This works when I manually run, but does not work when mail rolls-in
in real time and the mail just sits in my inbox, categorized as
"unscreened".

If the rules had a few more options this would be easy. Any ideas??

What type of email account do you use?
