00:00:00,05 --> 00:00:01,03
- [Instructor] I've discovered

2
00:00:01,03 --> 00:00:04,01
that there are two basic types of Outlook users.

3
00:00:04,01 --> 00:00:06,09
Users who go into the inbox and use Search

4
00:00:06,09 --> 00:00:10,05
to search for something and users who go into the inbox

5
00:00:10,05 --> 00:00:13,07
or another app or folder and simply browse

6
00:00:13,07 --> 00:00:15,05
until they find it.

7
00:00:15,05 --> 00:00:18,09
Remembering that Outlook Search wasn't stellar

8
00:00:18,09 --> 00:00:20,09
back in the late 1990s.

9
00:00:20,09 --> 00:00:23,08
I think that some of us got in the habit of being browsers

10
00:00:23,08 --> 00:00:25,04
rather than searchers

11
00:00:25,04 --> 00:00:28,04
but Outlook Search works incredibly well.

12
00:00:28,04 --> 00:00:30,06
And I want to introduce you to the last of the truly

13
00:00:30,06 --> 00:00:32,08
superb search tools that are built into Outlook.

14
00:00:32,08 --> 00:00:35,07
And that's Search Folders.

15
00:00:35,07 --> 00:00:38,07
There's one search folder that's built into the new Outlook

16
00:00:38,07 --> 00:00:41,08
and then you can create more if you wish.

17
00:00:41,08 --> 00:00:44,03
Scroll down to the bottom of the nav pane

18
00:00:44,03 --> 00:00:48,00
and you'll see underneath RSS subscriptions,

19
00:00:48,00 --> 00:00:50,08
Create new folder link and also Search Folders.

20
00:00:50,08 --> 00:00:53,00
So I'm going to click Search Folders

21
00:00:53,00 --> 00:00:56,05
and you can then click the one search folder that is there.

22
00:00:56,05 --> 00:00:59,02
These are every bit of email that I have

23
00:00:59,02 --> 00:01:01,06
that I either haven't read or I haven't followed up on

24
00:01:01,06 --> 00:01:05,07
even though I flagged it so it's unread or for follow up.

25
00:01:05,07 --> 00:01:08,08
Now, what if I wanted to create a new search folder?

26
00:01:08,08 --> 00:01:11,07
Don't click Create new folder, right-click on Search Folders

27
00:01:11,07 --> 00:01:13,07
and say Create new search folder.

28
00:01:13,07 --> 00:01:18,01
So I'm going to choose a search folder

29
00:01:18,01 --> 00:01:19,05
and the ones that are built in

30
00:01:19,05 --> 00:01:22,04
include Flagged for follow-up, Unread mail,

31
00:01:22,04 --> 00:01:24,06
and the combo of that you just saw.

32
00:01:24,06 --> 00:01:26,09
Mail either unread or flagged for follow-up,

33
00:01:26,09 --> 00:01:27,08
that's the third one,

34
00:01:27,08 --> 00:01:30,09
and then I can find Mail sent directly to me.

35
00:01:30,09 --> 00:01:35,01
And the reason I might create this is I want to find that mail

36
00:01:35,01 --> 00:01:39,03
that was sent specifically and only to me

37
00:01:39,03 --> 00:01:41,05
or just any mail where I'm not CC'd,

38
00:01:41,05 --> 00:01:45,01
because if I have to triage the time I have with my inbox

39
00:01:45,01 --> 00:01:47,04
I'm going to focus first on mail sent to me

40
00:01:47,04 --> 00:01:49,03
rather than emails I was copied on.

41
00:01:49,03 --> 00:01:51,06
So I'm going to create this

42
00:01:51,06 --> 00:01:54,00
and I'll have a new search folder

43
00:01:54,00 --> 00:01:58,08
and I have 831 items that were sent directly to me.

44
00:01:58,08 --> 00:02:00,00
That's pretty slick.
