Applescript to choose folders to save sent messages in Outlook 2011 for MAC

Question

I want to create a rule to apply to messages as they are sent that gives me a dialog box in which to choose what folder I want to save the copy of the sent message (instead of the regular default of the Sent Items folder).
I just moved from a PC to a MAC and I miss this feature on Outlook 2011 for the MAC as I like to keep my replies/new messages sent in the same folders by subject as I leave received messages.
I've looked everywhere for an AppleScript I could use as part of a rule that applies to messages as they are sent and brings up a dialog box to chose the folder in which to save the sent message.
Anybody able to help here? It would be much appreciated!

Hi ZRANY,
First, you must be aware that “Mail does not apply rules to sent messages - if you want to organize your sent messages in mailboxes together with your received messages, you have to manually select all messages in your "Sent" mailbox and choose "Apply Rules to Selection" from the menu.” ([Mail Scripts 2.10.2|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html]).
That being said, maybe the following very simple script could act as a starting point:
*using terms from application "Mail"*
*on perform mail action with messages theMessages*
*tell application "Mail"*
*repeat with eachMessage in theMessages*
*set theSubject to subject of eachMessage*
*choose from list (get name of mailboxes) with title "My mailboxes" with prompt "Subject: " & theSubject & return & return & "Select a mailbox where to copy this message."*
*duplicate eachMessage to mailbox 1 whose name is (item 1 of result) as text*
*end repeat*
*end tell*
*end perform mail action with messages*
*end using terms from*
Hope it can help.
