Hi,
Looking for an email using search, is it possible to change the default
search to look into subfolders?
I have a lot of subfolders and always have to drill down the search and
click on "search subfolders" every time I perform a search--would like
to automate it.
Tx.

Simple - create a search without any criteria but check the box to "search
subfolders." Save it to your desktop and use that search when needed.

OK. I guess I can do that and create a button on a toolbar with all the
different custom searches.....
