As a former user of Outlook (Classic), I used the rules for automatically moving incoming emails quite a bit. Activating a rule for a specific email sender could be set up quickly there by right-clicking on the respective email (right-click, Move to Folder, select the folder – done). In Thunderbird, unfortunately, this is only possible in a somewhat more complicated way via the filter settings.
My suggestion is to implement the feature in Thunderbird in a similar way to Outlook.
