Where's my folder! don't laugh

[Jason Chapman]

I have moved / created a folder in a strange place and can't find it.

Outlook 2007.

I have done a All Mail Search and foud an e-mail in the folder, but
have no idea where the folder is, i.e. how to navigate to it.

There is no "open folder" or "full path" option as far as I can see.

Sorry for a trivial question, but I create a folder for each client /
project so I have hundreds of folders nested deep.

TIA

Try using the Folder List view of the Navigation Pane and expanding all
folders to find it.

Do a search as you described, then go to Field Chooser.
(Right-click column headings line)
Under the heading "All Post fields" you will find
"In Folder" which you can use as a new column.

Thanks, this was my way of finding it, but my folders go:
inbox
-clients
--aaaa
--....
--zzzz
---proposals
---wiki
-prospects
-suppliers
-personal

I wasn't looking forward to it and I was expecting i had just missed
something silly.

I eventually found it, luckily it had been moved into
-clients
--a client
---theOneIWasLookingFor

not personal\zoology\zebra
otherwise I would still be looking!

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I should have given more detail. I always have
this column, but it doesn't say the parent / hierarchy and no "open
folder" option.


FOund it now, but would still like to see a "Full Folder Path" option
