Easiest way to add contacts from new e-mails and establish automatic rules for new messages

This might be a two-part question but since they are closely related I've decided to ask both in the same question.

What I am looking for is a way to most efficiently do the following:

When I receive an e-mail for someone I would like to:
(a) immediately add this person to my contact list
(b) create a new folder for e-mails from this person and
(c) create a new rule that automatically sends e-mails from this person to the folder I have created

Although I don't want this done in an automated fashion I would like to do it more smoothly than I currently am.  Right now I go into Contacts, cut and paste the e-mail address from the e-mail and manually create a new contact.  Then I go and create a folder.  After creating the folder I create a rule which I do by copying a similar rule from my list and changing the pertinent information.  I think that there must be an easier way to do this but am not sure exactly how to accomplish this.  Perhaps this might require the use of some type of coding but if it can be done without that would be even better.
