OLKeeper reliably prevents users from closing their Outlook window and thus possibly missing reminders or e-mails.

With rules you can only look for your own address in the cc field in order to move the email. With this example you can look for any string in CC. If it's found, the email will be moved into a subfolder of the inbox. In this sample the folder is named 'test'.
