Dropped the message in wrong folder, how find?

[kevs1]

If you drop a message into the wrong folder, how do you search for it in Entourage?

Actually, I found the message tangentially, as I found a preceeding message and then clicked to show the reply, but I can't find the reply.

BTW, it seems spotlight does not deal with Entourage

Edit > Find

Actually, I found the message tangentially, as I found a preceeding
message and then clicked to show the reply, but I can't find the
reply.

If you have the message open, you can choose Message > Move To.

It does if you have the feature enabled. See

thanks Adam:
Does the article say how to get spotlight working for Entourage? I did not seem to see that?
And why isn't it working by default?
Any downsides?

You MUST update Office. The current version is 11.3.9. This page shows you

Just enable the option in sync and it works.

And why isn't it working by default?

Some people don't want it.

BTW, Spotlight in Entourage 2008 is integrated into the application and is
blazing fast. It's enough to update just for this feature.

Just looked. that will take 6 different downloads. What the point?

It would actually work better. If you aren't going to bother, it makes us
wonder if offering our help is going to be worthwhile.

Well Diane, I just decided after much thought and help here, from JE and others, not to upgrade to 2008. You see what I'm saying. I used to believe in always upgrading, not so much anymore.

Does these upgrade help with this issue?

If I'm not mistaken your problem had to do with Spotlight. This is added in
a later revision of 2004. There is no reason not to upgrade to the latest
revision of 2004.

If you aren't going to upgrade, I suggest you just use Apple Mail.

Let's go back to your original problem.

If you drop a message into the wrong folder, how do you search for it in
Entourage?

You can use a custom mail view to find the email. It will show up in the
columns --> Folder to show you where it is located.

If you notice this right after you do it, command-Z works.

Ok, thanks!

thanks Diane, never really got my head around custom views or how to use them.

See this page for help:

The provided examples are a good way to learn too. Just open one and see how
it's set up.
