RE: Find a folder

[Andrew]

Mary,
Perhaps I wasn't clear. How do I find a folder without manually going
through every folder. To find email I can use the search or advanced find
features. This will tell me what folder an email is in. If I want to find a
folder there doesn't appear to be a similar feature.

I don't believe it's possible to search for a folder without writing code.
Here's an example: http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=492

I have the same problem. I get a lot of mail, and I keep it in a lot of folders. The folders are in different PST files. Windows Desktop Search (WDS or Windows Search in Outlook 2007) does a great job of finding mail. However, after I use it to find an email, there's apparently no way to go to the containing folder. That is, I still have to manually search for the folder that contains the mail. Is there a trick I can use to find the folder that contains the mail that is found by Windows Desktop Search?

Thanks for reading this!!
