Rule to add aliases of unread messages to a specified folder

Hi, I can use the Entourage rule 'Copy Message' to add a copy of unread
messages to an 'unread' folder, but what I want is to actually create
an alias of unread messages to my unread folder. The reason for wanting
an alias is so that I do not have to delete twice mail I don't want.
Does anybody know how to create an alias of unread mail?

Thanks

AFAIK this is not possible. Why not create a custom view of your mail for
"unread"? In essence the messages in a custom view are aliases since the
message still resides in it's original folder.

Unread custom view might be one of the default views included. If not....

Status --> is --> unread
Folder --> is not --> my outbox
