Allow Outlook to help you. Open 'Tools/Options' and click the 'Settings' tab in the Options dialog box and click 'Junk Email' In the 'Email' field. The following dialog box allows various detailed settings of the Junk email filters. Activate the 'Safe Senders' tab and put a checkmark In front of 'Automatically add persons to whom I send emails to the list of safe senders. Then close all the opened dialog boxes with 'OK'.

Now as soon as you write an email to a contact, Outlook automatically adds this address to the list of 'Safe Senders'.
