Where is the option for the "Search Folders" where we can save searches ?

    And if you combined them with categories, they are a real bliss. They are getting there with the ability to save "categories" as favourites, but it is not quite the same experience IMHO.

    Please bring search folders back, or we'll need to move back to classic outlook.

    Those aren't the full featured search folders. Try and build a complex search and you can't. For example, try to make this:
