Use Search Folders to collect all of your Outlook mail in one place.

A former freelance contributor who has reviewed hundreds of email programs and services since 1997.

If your email messages are organized in several folders and you want to read messages that match certain criteria, create a Search Folder in Outlook.

When you create a Search Folder and then search for a particular type of email, Outlook places matching messages in the Search Folder.

This way, the messages you want are in one place and display in one long list.

To set up a custom Smart Folder that contains all of your email messages.

Select the Inbox (or another folder) in the email account or PST file for which you want to create the Search Folder.

In the New Search Folder dialog box, scroll to the Custom section and select Create a custom Search Folder.

In the Custom Search Folder dialog box, enter a name for the Search Folder.

In the Select Folder(s) dialog box, select the topmost folder for the PST file or email account of the folders you want to search.

Or, clear the Search subfolders check box and choose the folders that contain messages you want to see.

Or, place sub-folders under the Inbox or another folder and set up the Smart Folder with Search subfolders enabled.

To customize a Smart Folder so that it contains all of your email messages except those you want to exclude with criteria (for example, to remove junk or old emails).

For example, to exclude messages from a specified folder such as the Junk Email folder.

Select the Condition dropdown arrow and choose doesnt contain.

In the Value text box, enter the name of the folder or folders you wish to exclude.

For example, to include messages that are larger than a certain size.

Select the Size (kilobytes) dropdown arrow and choose greater than.

For example, to exclude email from a particular sender, such as mailer-daemon.

In the Value text box, enter the email address (or part of the address) you want to exclude.
