    This is really an essential feature for me. I went back to the old version after I saw that the new version has only limited options. I really wish Microsoft doesn't reduce features in the new version.

    Dear Olivier Dignard,

    Based on my test, i found that the same result as yours. I'm afraid that the Search folder is not available in New Outlook preview. Please kindly understand that many functions of our current products are designed and upgraded according to customer feedback. At present, what I can do for you is to submit feedback for your request and I found a same post here. It's suggested that you could vote for it and you can also post your suggestions on that website. Hope Microsoft product team will notice this in the future. Thank you for your understanding and support!

    Moreover, l would like to share some information with you, as Microsoft has specific community channel resources where our most valuable related professionals and community members can provide possible information for certain different scopes and support resources, would you mind connecting and placing your concern on our dedicated channel to learn more about from our related community members? See Contact support and provide feedback within the new Outlook for Windows - Microsoft Support. Because we are mainly focusing on the concern related to the old Outlook for Windows in this community channel.

    Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

    Sincerely,

    Tammy | Microsoft Community Moderator.

    After trying to live with New Outlook for months now, I gave up and reverted to classic. My understanding is we won't be compelled to move to NEW for quite some time, which I sincerely hope is true.

    I wanted to like it but I really, really need useful search folders that are highly configurable (see "Classic Outlook"). I don't have time mess with all the steps I need to do all the time get the same functionality in new, especially when, as a developer, I know how very, very easy it would be to add this functionality.

    Custom search folders is critical to my personal organization process, been waiting a while for this feature can't use the new outlook until it's resolved. Current options still too limited.

    I am also looking for the search folders - especially the predefined search for unread emails. As someone else said, this is really needed for dealing with multiple email accounts and high email volume. I am commenting here on the hope that if anyone on the product team responds with a useful response, that I'll see it.
    FYI - I tried the new outlook several times, and have gone back to the "old" version every time - and every time I tried to communicate with MS via the help menu.

    Perhaps MS has a different process they are unveiling for handling the same organizing issue. If so, will somebody from the product management team please reply and let us know.

    Meanwhile, DO NOT force us to use the new version - until you fix this feature-lack
