I thought I was competent in using outlook until someone posed this question.
He has created many tiers of folders to organise his email, but now has the
problem that he can't find a folder. I can't find a folder either, I have
looked everywhere and can find mail in a folders what I can't do is find the
folder.

Can anyone help and advise on how to locate an Outlook folder when you don't
know it's hierarchy.

Is he using Folder List View in the Navigation Pane? Should be easy to see
the whole list. He must actually be in Outlook to view any folder.
 
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!!
