Where is the option for the "Search Folders" where we can save searches ?
Previously it worked that way : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-search-folders-to-find-messages-or-other-outlook-items-c1807038-01e4-475e-8869-0ccab0a56dc5
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

Surprised you were able to hang on that long. Took me a very short time to revert to classic Outlook.
Having been using computers since the early 1980s, I have tried not to adopt an "it is the children who are wrong" mindset, so I try to use new products long enough to be very sure it's the product and not my thinking that needs to change.
I did go a very long time with this one, but in the end, I needed to revert back. Being able to click on a folder and see exactly what I need to see at the time I need it without fiddling around with things as simple as constraining to a given folder is just table stakes for me (and probably everyone else who uses Outlook for more than just reading email linearly).
The search issues with Outlook drove me to Thunderbird for a while but the incompatibilities slowly creeping in with O365 and the lack of good calendar support pushed me back. I feel like a prisoner in the Outlook jail sometimes.
I cannot agree more. The new outlook search folder options are really pathetic and as long an they are not included, the new version is quite useless to manage your e-mail. I really do not understand why Microsoft decided to take out these features, for less advanced users there is always the option to hide this away so they do not need to bother...
Agreed. Microsoft developers are idiots for removing this essential tool.
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...!!!
