The new Outlook search in the title bar is disconnected from the content it searches
MaryB Net result: A crippling loss of functionality. What was lost? Any way to easily see what email account or folder I'm in. That used to be on the top of the window. Now it has completely disappeared. The only way to see "where I am" is the highlighted folder name in the left-hand panel. I have 5 email accounts that I must monitor. Within each account I have tens to dozens of folders. When expanded (my normal configuration) the left hand list can take many seconds to scroll through.
Expected result: massive loss of time and situational awareness. And accidentally sending emails to people and organizations with an inappropriate email account address.
Please urge MS to restore visibility of account/folder name.
PNAdvocateMike You can set the default to search in the folder you are currently in or only in the mailbox you are in.Folder seems to be the only one working properly, all the others do not turn back all the results.
If MS is reading , I joined this group solely to complain about the new search location changing without my approval but I've gotten over that. However, MS could make this a wonderful tool by adding the following: rather than default to any folder, give us some quick click options like: this folder, all folders, sent folder - even better let me customize those "buttons" as I might have multiple email accts.
On my screen, you have the real estate- pls MS, this would calm a lot of the complaints and would increase productivity vs more clicks to find the folder I want to search. Tx
