I'm migrating from Goldmine to Outlook. Goldmine has a nice feature called
"Fast File". When you're reading an email, you click the Fast File button
and the email gets moved from the inbox to another folder for permanent
storage. The other folder is for this month's mail; there are top-level
folders for the year, and then subfolders for each month. So I can click one
button and the mail gets moved to the /2005/December folder. Monthly folders
get created as needed. Is it possible to do anything similar in Outlook?

There is a move to folder button on the toolbar in Outlook which you can use
to file the message you're reading. There's no easy way to automatically
create the subfolders, but you can do it manually certainly. CTRL+SHIFT+E.
