Sadly, we're using Outlook 365, and if there are labels, I don't know how to use them.

Isn't Office 365 just Office rebranded for subscription? Earlier versions of Outlook allowed you to create Rules, which would probably allow you to do want you want.

"Normal" versions of Outlook definitely allows this with rules, as can be seen when you accidentally set up the same rule twice.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

In outlook you have categories you can create.
Combining those with rules you should be able to achieve what you want.

you can setup rules and just make sure that you continue to process other rules.
So rule 1 for the first requirement copy item to folder 1. continue to process other rules.
So rule 2 for the second requirement copy item to folder 2. Then delete from main folder.
Done.

I would go more for "make people read what I wrote, not what they want to read"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not only read the entire email, but respond back with more than one word answer to a multi-part question. It only makes me have to re-ask the same question again when they answer the first question part and ignore the rest of the question(s).

So true.
Whenever I have more than one question I even bullet point them with a numbered list and people still don't answer them all.

Not allowing the frivolous clicking of the Reply All button. I don't mind wedding and baby announcements being sent to the entire company, but I can't stand all of the "Congratulations" replies to those emails.

Reply all with an explanation of how dumb it is.
It doesn't solve anything, but it feels nice. And it's deserved, I'd do it again.

and I would like to not allow the clicking of reply in a multi email conversation to prevent orphaned branches
sounds like we need a tickbox when you send an email to determine whether reply means to sender only or all participants

Being introduced [^], but WAY to lenient and limits not configurable - at least yet. I guess might be a little bit useful in a huge enterprise at this point, but looking forward to something more generally useful.
How about keyboards that give a shock anytime reply-all is used - do you think it might help people learn to only use it when they REALLY need to? (Unfortunately, I'm guessing probably not).

I'd like an app that would allow me to send electric shocks back to the sender. Deluxe version may allow a variety of voltage setting - and allow for higher current, as well.
(obligatory pun: Who could resist such an application?)

An email app that explains to people what the difference between CC and BCC is ...
Just before I went down with Covid, I ordered 50m of Stihl strimmer wire as I didn't have much 1.75mm diameter wire left for my petrol strimmer and I like to buy quality.
And due to Covid lockdowns, it was delayed - the eBay shop sent me an email to explain that, asked for patience. No problem, except it was CCed to 40 odd other people, giving me all their emails ... and them mine 
Mind you, it had one benefit once the wire arrived and somebody noticed it wasn't the genuine article ... and he had a list of fellow customers to check against ...
