Split from this thread.

Hi,

I'm trying New Outlook, I would like to search inside an email for text, and also search for emails in the inbox.

I cant see any way of doing these functions.

Control-F does nothing.

Can you help please ?!

Thanks

    Thank you Brian,

    I had found a link for Classic Outlook before, and tried to load it. It worked for a while, but it continually reverts to the "New" Outlook. Microsoft has also deleted my contacts stored in my Dell computer. I run a small business, and cannot put up with these Microsoft high-handed major changes to their software without notice.

    Today I bought a new Apple computer, and will use that for my business. I am also hiring a tech support person recommended by Apple and hope I can protect myself from Microsoft making changes in my computer (such as deleting my contacts lists and forcibly foisting a product on me I do not want or need). I no longer have the ability to refuse to update to versions of Microsoft software, apparently. I am sick and tired of being forced to do things that cause me and my business pain, and keep me from being available to my own customers.

    Microsoft needs to be broken up, they have become too comfortable due to its monopoly status. They think nothing of making major changes without warning, and don't care about customers. It is also becoming impossible to find tech support for their products when they break something. I am sick and tired of the bully!

    There is no feature for this, I work with reports with tons of numbers so this just makes my job very tedious.

    Unfortunately not, as your reply was very complicated and apparently you did not understand the problem : I want to search WITHIN an email body of imaging 900+ lines.
    Please read carfully also Gregs reply blow ...

    Strongly agreeing with this request. Must be able to search for text within a message that you've popped out to its own window.
