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

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 do this all the time, the problem is you cannot restrict this to items in your inbox.

Example: I have a rule that adds an "ASAP" tag to emails from a given set of people. I then triage these and act on them (e.g. make a ticket, reply directly, etc). Once it is addressed, I archive it.

• View by tag does not restrict to a folder (which makes sense)
• Archiving does not remove the tag (which makes sense)
• So whenever I want to see say "unread ASAP in my Inbox" I need to:
  • Click on the tag folder to see all "ASAP"
  • Go to the search bar to restrict to "Inbox"
  • Then click on the "Undread" filter to see unread in my inbox (half the time this drops the "Inbox" filter, which is annoying)

What this should be is "make a saved search for 'ASAP in my inbox that are undread'".

A minor issue but I have a number of workflows based around saved search functionality (available in a lot of email clients) which requires multiple steps.

I CAN work around it, I would prefer to not have to.

Edit: I see the typos but am leaving them as comic relief.

Unbelievable. We are almost halfway through the 3rd decade of the 21st century and Microsoft can't get this right?

Who knew Classic Outlook would look so good?

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.

I agree %100.

I'm concerned that because most people don't need them or use them, the feature will be overlooked in new versions despite the fact that there are users who utterly rely on that feature.

We're not the 99%, so we don't matter.
