Create your own Search folder

If you are like me, then you get email from the same people all the time. You can easily store that email in your inbox or in a folder and the view it through a search folder.

There are built in search folders like Unread and Large Files. To create your own simply right click the Search Folder option.

Info: This does not move the mail just displays it by criteria in that folder! It stays right where you left it!

Updated: Outlook Productivity Tip

How often do you go to find something in your Outlook by a particular person? Like I need to see an email conversation between me and Vendor X...I used to go and search my inbox, sent items, etc...I would sort by name, filter by whatever in order to drill down just to that person! This eats your time alive.

Do this instead:

Go to the Contact record stored in your Contacts; click Activities.

(In Outlook 2003, there is a tab called "Activities")

(FYI: there must be an email for the contact record.)

Tip: If you often move things by people to a different folder then you can simply highlight all of these and drag them into the folder of your choice.
