OL 2002 and Advanced Find

WIN XP HE, OL 2002
Hi,
in OL 2002, when you receive a message and reply to it, you get on the
"header" part of the message in "yellow" when in the Inbox view with Preview
Pane: "You replied to this message on ..... date" Click here to find all
related messages.
Because I use a lot of separate sub-folders, that Find function will not
find the replies oftentimes as it does not look in those sub-folders. It
only looks in Inbox, Drafts and Sent Items, by default.
Is there a way for me to add folders and sub-folders to it so that I can
perform this search from the same location (Inbox) without to manually input
the folders and subfolders each time?
Tx,
S

I am facing the same problem, even though I use Outlook 2000.

Does anybody know how to create a macro that will find all related messages
in all folders under my mailbox?

Thank you!

Lookout perhaps? http://www.lookoutsoft.com/Lookout/download.html

Lookout can index the entire mailbox, but will not programatically search for
all messages related to the one I have.

I with Outlook could record macros...

The method you'd want to use is Application.AdvancedSearch

Thank you for the suggestion, Sue.

However, it is my understanding that this method is not available in Outlook
2000. Am I out of luck?

Best,

LT

That's correct, AdvancedSearch was introduced in Outlook 2002.
