If you receive a lot of e-mail messages or use rules to move messages to other folders, it can be difficult to find that one message with an important attachment.
By using Search Folders, you can create a virtual folder that searches through all Outlook e-mail folders and gives you a comprehensive view of any e-mail message that has an attachment.
Create a Search Folder to find attachments
- In Mail, on the File menu, point to New, and then click Search Folder.
- Scroll toward the bottom of the list of predefined Search Folders, and then click Mail with attachments.
The Search Folder that you created appears in the Navigation Pane (Navigation Pane: The column on the left side of the Outlook window that includes panes such as Shortcuts or Mail and the shortcuts or folders within each pane. Click a folder to show the items in the folder.) under Search Folders with the name With Attachments.
Tip To make a Search Folder appear at the top of the Navigation Pane in the Favorite Folders pane, right-click any Search Folder, and then click Add to Favorites Folders. You can drag Search Folders to arrange them in the order of your preference.
