Hi

This drives me NUTS!
How can I find out which folder an email is in?

Background:
I have complex filtering which keeps going wrong
so I keep losing emails.

I can find them again using GoogleDesktop, and
I can open them in Outlook, but how can I find
out WHICH FOLDER they have been put into?!

Outlook Find is pants:
The best I can do is try to search for the email using
Advanced Find (right-click on a directory and click
on Advanced Find). But the trouble here is that
Outlooks searching isnt just gob-smackingly slow
it's also ABSOLUTELY USELESS
and very often I fail to find what I'm looking for.

This is one reason filing mail in folders is not the best mail management
technique. Unless Google desktop tells you which folder it's in, you won't
know as outlook's search doesn't have that capability. If you use search
folders, you can group by folder but it won't give you the folder path.
Advanced find works well, but slow, if you use the right keywords and
folders - but Google desktop (and other 3rd party utilities) is always going
to be faster.

I used to use Google Desktop to find what to search for on
Outlooks's Advanced Find - if necessary searching the entire
body of all texts as well as the subjects. I never did get
ANY of the more sophisticated filters such as "From:" or "Sent to:"
to work properly.

But recently Advanced find seems not to be working at all. :^[
