Hi,
the search folders are really a good new feature in Outlook 2003. However,
I haven't found a way to do these the following important things:
- I use the For Follow Up search folder a lot. When I see a flagged message
there, I often want to see the context of that message; that is, the folder
where it is located. I have the folder name displayed in the In Folder
column, but it's only the folder name, not really the location in the
folder hierarchy. And in any case I have to manually browse to the folder.
I'd like something like an item on the right-click menu that says "Open
containing folder". Is this possible?
- I not only mark emails for follow-up, but also contacts. Is there a way
to display all follow-up items (emails, contacts, whatever else) in a
search?
- I have always wanted a list of /everything/ that's due today (or
tomorrow, or in any timeframe). Flagged emails, flagged contacts, tasks
with a due date or a reminder in that timeframe, appointments that start in
that timeframe or that have a reminder set in that timeframe -- in short,
everything that's set to start or happen in that timeframe. Is there any
way to create such a list? It seems to me that this would be one of the
most useful views in a PIM.
Thanks for any help,
Gerhard
