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

    Yes, you are correct. This is just a step in the direction. Before this, we had zero search folder options, so for personal e-mail this helps. For Business e-mail I still use the classic Outlook.

    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

    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.

    You really need to put back the ability to search on keywords.

    I find it hard to believe this was based on user feedback.
