In your Outlook mail pane, you’ll discover a feature that holds the key to effortless email organisation \u2013 search folders. These folders provide a virtual window into all your email folders, allowing you to locate messages based on specific criteria. Here’s the beauty of it: search folders don’t move your emails; they merely present a unified view across your folders, simplifying the search process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outlook offers several predefined search folder options to get you started. These include unread mail, flagged for follow-up, unread or flagged for follow-up, and important mail. But here’s where the real magic happens: creating custom search folders that match your unique needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you tired of sifting through countless folders in search of large or old emails? With search folders, the process becomes a breeze. Simply define your threshold for large emails and specify how old an email needs to be to fall into the “old” category. For instance, instead of the default one-week threshold, you can choose emails older than eight weeks. The search folder will now display all relevant emails meeting your criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you’ll stumble upon outdated task requests, unnecessary share notifications, or accepted meeting confirmations cluttering your inbox. Delete them with a single click, effortlessly decluttering your Outlook environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, the power of search folders lies in their flexibility. Tailor your criteria based on your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for emails exceeding a particular size limit, those sent by specific individuals, or emails that have outlived their relevance, search folders have got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
