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

Providing my own use case for the old functionality of Search Folders:

I work with several vendors, but primarily with just one of them. I want to keep them in their own folders (Vendor A, Vendor B, Vendor C) for organization.

Since I work the most with vendor A, I want to see their unread emails along with my regular unread inbox. I check vendors B & C's mail as needed.

As a workaround, I am considering updating the rules that move emails to various folders to include "and mark read" as a step. While this would take care of paring down the "unread" search folder, this isn't ideal; I want to be able to see when I have new mail from vendors B & C (bolded folder w/unread count), and I don't want to make it look like I've read something from them if I haven't really done so (including read receipts).

This was all accomplished with the previous configuration of the Search Folders functionality that is currently absent from New Outlook.

Thanks

Very frustrating MS.

The search folder was there for me yesterday Nov 7th, today, gone....I use the Unread Emails folder as a Fav to make my mail processing so much faster (I have many rules to filter emails to folders)

When MS claims this functionality was removed due to use feedback, I am calling that out as false, more like MS typical remove all the features the previous product had, and slowly add them back as user complain.

Mine disappeared and then reappeared after a restart.

I agree. I see this as a "we don't like any of the UX designs we have tried so far" combined with an 80/20 (meaning the "power users" are not a significant enough component of the user base to warrant development teams working on this.

To me, it is indispensable, so I am just on Classic. If (at some point) Classic goes away, I will probably use Thunderbird or eM Client. I basically abandoned em Client (which I paid for) because the calendar integration kept breaking and I spend all day in meetings (please send help) so I need good, integrated calendar ops so back to Outlook.

Guys, if we don't have the Seartch Folder, then automaticaly we do not have the Unread Folder to saw us all the unread emails, from subfolders to mains.

Also if a Main folder has 3 Subfolders, then the emails which are going to the subfolders can't be seen as a number of unread emails at the Main folder. So if i have 4 unread emails in a subfolder, i can't tell by looking the Main Folder. To find out if i have unread emails in the subfolders , i need to open the Main Folder...!!!

At least with the Unread Folder we were saving the day all this time...but now...??!!

Now, we need to check all the subfolders or have all the emails in Main Folders.

Thats a problem , because if you are going to have 10 Main Folder then that means, that inside of them,it's gonna be a chaos of emails.....or you can have 400 Main Folder ....still a chaos at the left side of your screen.

You need to do something about that guys...!!!
