Could we have a function on Outlook whereby the user can search for all flagged emails?
Could we have a function on Outlook whereby the user can search for all flagged emails? I often flag something to re-read or follow up later and then it gets lost in my inbox. There's a search box to find everything else, so why not for flagged emails.

Difficulties in finding folders
Search function for folder names and lsit all folders.
I can't find some of my folders properly. When I use "move to" - I can see the names on all my folders. But it seems I can't find the folders neither under "folders" nor inmail. How do I find a folder such as "Gitarr" for example? ( I do have one folder called Gitarr and sång)

Searching is very difficult in mail software. It should search a persons mail/ subject/contents in all mails including archive
Searching is very difficult in mail software. It should search a persons mail/ subject/contents in the body of the mails. The search should include inbox as well as including archive mails.

Bug: multiple selected emails are cleared.
BUG
1. Run a search.
2. Start selecting emails in the returned results.
3. Click on an email outside the selection markExpected: either the email is opened but when you go back to the search results your results are still selected OR you do not lose all the selected emails.
ACTUAL: you lose all the selected emails.4 votes -
Missing folder
There is a huge bug in Hotmail. In the non-beta version, a folder of mine has gone missing (it was NOT deleted!!). When I switch to the beta version, the folder appears in the folder list. I'm not sure what's going on with Hotmail, but this should not be happening.

Filter options missing
Please, enhance the search filters (filters by Unread, From, To, and so on... are a must!) Would also be good to be able to combine them.

Attachments cannot be downloded in Beta version.
I was not able to download attachments from my mails. So I switched to the older version and I was able to do so in a sec. I tried downloading to the computer and saving to the oneDrive etc. From the mail itself, the drop down to download, preview etc was not also working.

Search by year / find old mails / number of pages
Hi
With the new version, I cannot find old mails sent 2-3 weeks ago. There are no numbering pages, I have to scroll and scroll...it's boring.
If I could go to the next pages and so one, it would be faster. With Gmail, we can change the page.Also, I would for example see my mail sent in 2016 but it's impossible. The only way is to scroll until 2016...but I have thousand of mails!
With Gmail, I can search a range "after:2016/1/1 before:2016/6/1"
With Outlook, I must know the exact date DD/MM/YYYY. I can't search by year und between…11 votes -

Show total number of items in folder (like in desktop Outlook)
In Outlook 2010 and later, users can choose to display the total number of items in each folder (rather than the number of unread items). Please add this feature.
