Search Folders on IMAP accounts in Outlook 2003

[Charles Shopsin]

I have two accounts set up in outlook 2003. One is my exchange based
mail account for work, and the other is my personal email account
which is IMAP based.

I can't find any way to create a search folder that uses my IMAP
account. Is there anyway to do this? I noticed that IMAP accounts
automatically use the 2002 pst format and not the new one. I thought
that might be the reason, but I can't find anyway to make it use the
new format.

Thanks,
Charles

That's what I was thinking, but hoping it wasn't the case. Do you know
of any work arounds other than having rules that just copy everything to
another pst?

Thanks,
Charles

rather than using search folders, use advanced find. You can save the find
and put it in a folder or on the Shortcut bar for easy access. You may need
to download full messages for it to find them, depending on your criteria.
