When most of my colleagues can’t find a specific email conversation from 10 months ago, just by searching a single term, I can pull it up with ease. This work around to the search in outlook had a huge impact on my work productivity. I came across this amazing article on Lookeen which solves the issue. In my weekly escapades to make my life easier, I decided I wanted to find a fix for this once and for all. This can be especially frustrating if you use a lot of subfolders, because you can’t even search a parent folder for child folder information. You may think that highlighting “Inbox” and searching for a term would search all subsequent sub-folders, but unfortunately Outlook doesn’t work in this way (As of October 2018). But what about an email you filed down a dark abyss of sub-folders, deep inside your inbox. If you want to find an email you sent, simply go to the “Sent” folder and search for your term. And while the desktop app allows you to create all the subfolders you could ever ask for, one thing that I have always found particularly difficult in outlook was using search functionality. Many corporations use Microsoft Outlook which has one of the most robust set of features available for email. One of the trickiest things you may run into at work, is trying to find an email you know someone sent, but have no idea where you filed it.
