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

    I could not agree more. I have basically reverted back to the Classic Outlook. I typically try out new versions of tools for my team but I had to abandon the new version, here. The timeline where we will be forced to switch is quite a long one and I can't afford to lose productivty to manually screwing around with searches all day.

    The search folders are there in the new outlook but the options are pathetic. A far cry from all of the fields available in the old outlook. This whole notion that that they will take away functionality and only add it back if enough people will vote for it is ridiculous. 20% of employees generate 80% of value in any given company. one of the reasons is that they are smart about using advanced tools to increase their productivity. and now MS decided to take away those advanced tools until the 80% votes for them. does anybody see a problem with that logic???

    here's an idea. perhaps instead of relying on voting you would actually track the actual usage and not take away active features??? especially the power features that have outsized impact on productivity.

    So much apparent foot-dragging or just lack of caring.

    I know I'm repeating myself with some stuff from previous posts but...

    Slack eats Teams for lunch, at least for smaller organizations. Feature-rich classic Outlook, despite it's being packed with too many settings and a few quirks, still beats New Outlook in many ways, including unified search (across mailboxes). Even the Outlook smartphone app (IOS AND Android) has had that feature by default (you don't even need to turn it on, it's just there) for a long time now.

    And the Outlook smartphone app has unified folders, which both desktop apps lack (you can kinda fake this with classic Outlook, but it's not built-in).

    Evernote eats OneNote for lunch.

    And Microsoft keeps threatening to sunset classic Outlook, to the chagrin of many.

    Makes ya wonder.

    It seems to be slowly rolling out. I have the folder on a Work PC, but not on my personal PC and the Build versions are the same.
