INTRODUCTION

In the All Mail Folders list, Outlook includes various search folders designed to contain messages of a specified type. For instance, Outlook by default includes Search folders with messages flagged for follow up, unread messages, and large messages. You can add other search folders as needed. For example, you might want to set up a search folder for all e-mail with attachments. Messages that meet the Search folders criteria are automatically placed in that folder.
