How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after readingit.

Hi. Currently I have a bunch of folders sorted by sender, and
incoming emails go directly into thier respective folders if I have a
rule set for that sender. I now need messages to go to the inbox
until I read them and then automatically be moved to their respective
folder. The reason for this is that I have a new phone that only
notifies me when new messages are in my inbox on the server, and I
need to know when I get emails from certain people. Currently they
just go straight to a folder and I get no notification.

Any help is appreciated.

probably not the most ideal, but you could suspend your rules and then just
choose to run them in the inbox after you've had a chance. You can do that
by opening up the rules and clicking on a specific rule and choosing to run
it in a folder.

Rules work only on new, incoming messages. Automatic rules cannot do what
you describe.
