Feature Request: Rules for tasks

Outlook should allow using "rules" to organize tasks as well as messages.

I enable the "show total number of items" property on my task folder so that
I can always see how many outstanding tasks I have. I also like to keep track
of my completed tasks. Because the "show total number of items" property
shows total tasks, not just non-completed tasks, I have to manually move all
of my completed tasks to a separate "completed tasks folder" to keep the
count correct.

I would like a rule that automatically moves my tasks to the appropriate
folders when their status changes.

Allowing tasks in search folders would mitigate this desire, but not
eliminate it.
 
You can accomplish the same by applying different views to your Tasks
folder. Also you can use AutoArchive to automatically move the messages once
you've selected them for AutoArchive. You can disable items to be archived
by opening it and choose File-> Properties...
