Although the search tool makes it easy to find email messages, I would like to see a tool/feature, that makes it easy to find an Outlook email folder. One thought I have it, after I use search to find my message; Right Click > Show in Folder.

I can hover over each email in the search result, but it would be much quicker if they were already displayed so I wouldn't have to hover over each one and wait for the tooltip.

It would be SOOOOO COOL if when you searched for an email in your mailbox if you could see what FOLDER the items found are located in.....just like Windows does when searching your computer.

@DexterGs comment: to add the "In Folder" unfortunatelly is not enough :-( because it is only shown the last Folder. I have a lot of subfolders, so I never find my emails. I need the whole path to find the email.3e@DexterGs comment: to add the \"In Folder\" unfortunatelly is not enough ;-( because it is only shown the last Folder.

When I find an email that I've saved, via search, how do I find out which folder that email is in?

If you add the "In Folder" column to to your view, it will show the containing folder for each of the emails in your search results. You can also sort by this column.

I had selected my Other mailbox. Some time later I did a search, but nothing shows up. I couldn't tell it was only searching the Other mailbox, because that part of the UI disappears when searching.
I would be nice to know what I'm searching when the results are empty.
