When you use Rules to move incoming messages to new folders, Outlook can store the replies in the same folder to keep the threads together.

To enable or disable this option, look on Tools, Options, Email Options button, Advanced button and check or uncheck the option to save replies with the original when the message is not in the Inbox.
