I run my mail through Gmail. I setup the filters in Gmail and from Gmail direct mail in Outlook. I have an identical set of folders in Outlook to which incoming mail is sorted. It works perfectly.
I use Acronis, scheduled daily, to backup my mail folders in Outlook (*.pst, *.ost). In Outlook 2013 IMAP is vastly improved and the file now ends in *.ost if you're running Gmail. Those things I want to more or less "permanently" save I save to the local *.pst file in Outlook.

I like to save emails on my main home and work PCs.
