Folder of searched messages in Outlook

[jurena]

On the list of results, after a search for certain messages in OUtlook, the
list doesn´t show clearly -or at all- the folder location where the found
messages are located. I have many folders, and if I am seraching for a
message, when Outlook search finds it, I would like to know the source folder
where the message resides. Currently, the search results are placed on a
"Search Folders" Folder, with no indication of in what folder the message was
found.

Did you add the In Folder field to the view?

I do have the "In Folder" flield in the view, but there are twp problems with
that:

1) The In Folder field only shows the bottom "leaf" of the folder hierarchy.
I have a complex and long hierarchy, so it doesn´t help me much to locate
the source folder. I would like it to show the full path.

2) I do have the "In Folder" filed in the view, but it is only visible if I
go to "View" and turn off the "Read" panel, and then restore it, which is
cumbersome to say the least.

1. Outlook never shows the folder path in search. You'll need to use windows
desktop search or other 3rd party search - most will include the full path.
This is one reason why we do not recommend using too many folders or deeply
nested folders.

2. You can create a view that includes the In folder field so it replaces
other fields in the view or group by the In folder.
