Request: automatic sorting of email in outlook

Every day I get to use Outlook/Exchange to get my daily fix of email. There is lots of it. I spend a significant amount of time waddling through it. Most of time I do batch processing, sorting mail to folders, reading select batches and only then responding. Much of the sorting to folders could be automated by an intelligent set of filters, except that creating filters in outlook is tedious and my needs change over time. I wish someone would solve this - use AI; use bayesian filtering, whatever, just take away the manual labour. Don't make me think; help me. Thanks.
