Add the ability to sync Search Folders from Desktop app. Gives ability to list emails from Inbox and other folders without having to move them to a different folder.

Proper search - in current folder, from sender, subject includes, key words, etc
Search function must enable search in current folder, search from a given sender and search words in the subject of the email. Ideally the search UI will be identical to the UI of the search in Outlook for Windows

Specific folder search
DO NOT MERGE THIS WITH WRONG IDEAS!!
Why are you dumbing down the app? Global-Search has become useless as it doesnt have specific folder search and returns a huge list to sort through what I`m searching.
My specifc request is as follows:
1. Bring back ability to search specific folder
2. Put Contacts short cut on home screenDO NOT MERGE THIS WITH WRONG IDEAS!!
Do not mark this thread as completed till you have done this.

Filter by category
I categorize emails on desktop because read emails are all in the same folder if no further action is required. When away from the office I have no efficient way of retrieving emails without filter by category. filter and search takes too long as it is today.

I would like to select individual or all emails after I perform a search to either delete, Mark as spam or move a different folder.
I would like to know how can I select individual or all emails I searched for to either delete, Mark as spam or move a different folder? This function doesn't seem to be available in this app, I can only select emails that are on the inbox and not the ones I performed a search, Please help.

Allow multiple select of messages after a search filter is applied.
This is marked as completed in another thread but it is not. Multi select does not work from search results screen.

Only search the folder you are in, like the full version searches only the folder or root folder plus subfolder.
at the moment, if you select a folder, then do a search, it still searches the whole inbox. would be good to only search the folder.

make it possible to search the junk folder.
Lots of emails go to the junk folder and it would be helpful to be able to check if something has gone there that shouldn't have by searching by keyword/email address. The iPhone mail app supports this but the Android outlook app does not.

Enable Exchange contacts search from the native Android Contacts app
It is currently not possible to search for Microsoft AD or Exchange contacts from the native Android Contacts app. You can currently only search from within the Outlook app.

Search attachment contents. This was previously available on outlook. But it was removed!
Under previous versions of outlook for Android I could type a keyword into search and it would search my message bodies, subjects, attachment titles, and attachment CONTENT. Why would a feature that all other email providers have be removed?
