find paths for nested Outlook folders

I group my Outlook messages in series of deeply nested folders, subfolders,
etc. When I use ADVANCED FIND, it shows me what folders the messages I am
searching for are in, but it does not show me the path to those folders. So
I have to open a bunch of nodes and manually search for the folders. This is
frustrating and time-consuming. There should be some way of determining the
exact path of folders that will take you to a specific folder.

There is no path to "specific folders" in Outlook, as all data (including
all mail folders) is stored in a file with a .pst file extension.

I think the OP means the folder path within Outlook. If they have a
sub-sub-subfolder, they want to see all the parent folders above it when
Advanced Find shows them the message.
 
I totally agree with Info Seeker. I have hundreds of folders and thousands
of files. The need for the file path while using the find command seems very
basic. Bill Gates are you listening. Does anyone know "the way" to my
files???
