How to create a rule which triggers when a condition is NOT met?

.... for instance, in OLExpress and Pegasus one can create a rule with
the symbol "@" in the conditions and request the rule to "move to the
Junk email folder" all mail which do NOT meet the condition. I can't
seem to find this facility anywhere in MS Outlook.

Thanks for your help in advance and apologies if this question has
already been asked and answered elsewhere (if it *has* I would be
grateful for the link).

You can achieve this by creating a rule which works on all mail (by not
having any selection criteria) then use "except" the condition you want to
avoid. Test it carefully, with non-destructive actions before taking any
drastis steps.
 
Many thanks. A bit of an obscure (subtle?) method, but it works.
