Organizing Outlook Searches - Search Folders



Automatically locate emails sent and received from anyone! This tip is real easy and great for those Outlook junkies who have a hard time deleting emails.

Search Folders

1. Right-click the Search Folders folder at the bottom of your Outlook folder list and select New Search Folder










2. Select Mail from and to specific people (explore the numerous other alternatives) and click Choose button to locate a specific individual.











Now, see how all email sent to or from me to one recipient are conveniently grouped together:














New emails I send and receive from a specific person are dynamically loaded into this Search Folder. Note each line item indicates whether it is in the Sent or Inbox folders

The For Follow Up folder contains all emails tagged with active flags.

Note that Large Mail and Unread Mail are two other folders that are a standard part of Outlook's search folders. Click them once to activate them. Use Large Mail to quickly locate the ones to delete to keep your mailbox size in check.
