Find Emails

If you are using MS Outlook 2007? There is a little box labelled Search Inbox

That is your Instant Search box. When you enter a word into the Instant Search box, Outlook will instantly start sorting through the e-mails in the currently displayed list to give you just the ones that meet your keyword criteria.

If you receive an awful lot of E-Mails you can get more specific by expanding your search box. In order to do that, you need to click on the double down arrow to the right of the Instant Search field.

Extra and more specific fields will then appear.

You can now enter your keywords into the appropriate place(s) to fine tune your search. If however the search fields are not to your liking, and you would like to look somewhere else, each search criteria name is also linked to a drop down list.

Simply click on the name and choose something different. If you need more fields, just click on the Add Criteria button. If you find that you have too many criteria in your Instant Search box, the bottom of the drop down field list has an option to Remove the field.

Also, you can collapse all the extra fields. The double down arrows become up arrows when you expand the Instant Search box. Click on those and you'll be back to where you started.
