I want to create a rule in the new Outlook to move emails from a specific sender or subject to a folder, but only after I have responded to the email. Another alternative that would work for me would be to move once the status of it is set to "unread". Anyone has any insights?

Rules are applied to received emails, so it is not possible to move sent emails to a specific folder. If you want to move sent emails to a folder, please use client rules in classic Outlook.
There is no mechanism to detect changes in unread/read status, so please give up.

ルールは受信メールに対して適用されるので、送信メールを特定のフォルダに移動させる事は出来ません。
送信メールをフォルダに移動したい場合は、従来のOutlookにてクライアントルールを利用して下さい。
未読/既読の状態変化を検知する仕掛けが無いので諦めて下さい。
Hi @Shift3
Welcome to our forum!
Agree with simo-k.
As a workaround, for the email you replied to, CC yourself at the same time, and set the relevant rules, that is, if the email is from your own account, and you're in column CC, take the action of Move it to the specific folder.
However, this may lead to too many duplicate messages that take up space in your mailbox (exist both the sent folder and the specific folder) and you may need to clean up the mailbox regularly.
Please kindly understand that many functions are not designed at present. To get this feature more quickly, I have found a post in feedback collection website, and you could vote for it. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. You can also make suggestions on that website and hope Microsoft will notice this in the future.
Thanks for your support and understanding!
