How do I print the folders list (only folders and sub-folders)?

[Guest]

I have created a very large structured filing system in my outlook (with
folders & sub-folders), and I wonder if there is a way to get a print-out of
the list enabling me to synchronize the manual filing of documents.

Many thanks,

You could do it the way I make a training manual. Show the folder list,
then use Alt and Print Screen (together) open Word and CTRL V to paste the
screen shot into a document.

The posts below were from 2005, and I am wondering if anyone has an updated
answer/comment that they can think of regarding these issues related to
Outlook 2007?

I am wondering because I work the same way as nac_jr: I use structured
filing systems and sometimes I'd like to update lists in external apps of
folder and subfolder titles.

I also would love to know how to do this. It has come up numerous times in
our organization, and it seems like alot of people are looking for a feature
like this--especially when you can print a list of items within a folder. It
just seems like common sense that you would also be able to print an overall
folder list.

My list of folders would never fit on a single screen, and an image file
isn't really useful.

I have many nested folders in multiple PST's (I know it's not very efficient
email management, but it is necessary for me).

I find that it's difficult to locate folders, and remarkably, Windows
Desktop Search and\or Outlook Search has no "open containing folder" option
on any menu for a message. You can only search for contents of folders, but
you cannot identify the location of the folder. Outlook doesn't give the
folder path. Therefore, there is NO WAY to locate a specific folder in
Outlook short of manually hunting around which is time consuming.

If you DO happen to find the folder, then the path is in the Address field
of the Web toolbar. But you have to find the folder first.

If there was a way of exporting the folders list to a text file (or printing
the folders list to an OCR program), one could create a single document "map"
to help locate folders.

I find it amazing that Outlook is missing these two seemingly fundamental
requirements:

• A way to identify the folder path of the containing folder of a message.
• A way to export or print the current folder hierarchy.

I think Copernic Search, or is it Google Desktop search that does have that
functionality?

Any clever vbs writers out there?

Thanks for reading this!!

It's hard to beleive but it seems that this is not possible. I've combed the
web, and there appears to be no possible way to export or print the current
folder hierarchy. Not a single suggestion on how to do this with VBA.

Also, it's hard to beleive that there is no way to open the containing
folder for a message after you locate the message using any search tool.
Nothing in Outlook to at least provide the path of the Outlook folder that
contains the message.


I think this would be a great help to have this basic functionality. It
would really help if you are using many nested folders in multiple PST's (I
know it's not very efficient email management, but it is necessary for me).

Windows Desktop Search and Outlook Search have no "open containing folder"

And using "print screen" is not a reasonable suggestion.

Thanks for reading this.
