Search Folders in Outlook 2010

Hi,
Is it possible to create custom search folders for Outlook 2010 from Exchange 2010?
Thanks

Hi Anil Chauhan,
Based on my knowledge, it is possible to create search folder using EWS.
About how to create search folder using EWS, I recommend you ask in Exchange Development forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. You can get better help there. Thanks for understanding.

  • No default search folders in Outlook 2010

    Hi there,
    I joined a new company and we use Exchange 2010 SP3 UR6 with Outlook 2010. All users are using Online-Mode, nothing cached. Nobody has the default search folders. I ran outlook with /cleanfinders /resetfolders, nothing.
    It's not vital of course, but I'm still wondering how that can be. New and old mailboxes only have the "root" Search Folder. Left click on it does nothing (is this normal? From my memory I don't think so), right click offers to create a new one...
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Your administrator can specify whether to create the standard default Search Folders when Outlook starts for the first time by using group policy. See:
    Please contact your administrator and confirm if he has applied the policy. For your reference:

    Note: This article is for Outlook 2007, it also applies to Outlook 2010.
    -> Left click on it does nothing (is this normal? From my memory I don't think so), right click offers to create a new one...
    This is the default behavior, we need to use right click > New Search Folder to create new search folders.
    Hope this helps.

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.
    Thank you for the information, that is what I wanted to know. Curiously I did not find such group policy...

  • Custom search folders in Outlook 2010

    Hello,
    I am running Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010. Latest Service Packs. I want to narrow my search to the following:
    Find all emails received that does not contain *@abc.com"
    When i run this search it simply does not work
    Help please
    Thanks,
    alexis

    This is the problem:
    Under "Define more Criteria" under "All Mail Field"s I choose "From"
    Under Condition: "Doesn't Contain" Value @abc.com
    That From field uses the Display Name, not the underlying email address. If you want to hide mail from Debbie ([email protected]), you need to use Debbie as the value, not @domain.com.

  • Searching contacts in Outlook 2010 results do not include Public Folders

    When searching for contacts in Outlook 2010, connected to Exchange 2010, Public folders are excluded under "All Contact Items", however if changed to "Current Folder" in the scope of the ribbon bar, results are there instantly.
    Operating Outlook in Cached mode with the download public folder favorites option checked.
    I am not able to locate an option so that the public folders are searched at the same time contacts are searched.  Can you help? 

    Public folder and your "current folder" is located in different folders against different mailboxs.
    Search in "Current folder" will only return the result of contacts in current folder, but search in Seach > Options > Search Folders > "Find Public folders" will get the result of contacts in All public folders by default.
    If you want to get the both of public folders and the specify contacts folders, please use Advanced Find and browse the certain folder.

  • How to use Search Folders in Outlook for shared mailboxes

    Hello
    We use Otlook 2010/2013 with MS Exchange 2010. In outlook there is "Serarch folder" with subfolders Large e-mail, Unreaded mails.... User can create own subfolders with rules.
    Users have attahet to outlook shared mailboxex for example Import, Export....
    For these mailboxes you cannot use "Search Folders" - outlook can use it only for your personal mailbox.
    To use "Serach folders" for shared mailbox I have to create new e-mail profile in Windows. User has to run outlook using these new profile "import". Now he is directly connected with shared mailbox.
    But users want to use "Search folders" when they are on own outlook profile with shared mailboxes attahecd to their profiles.
    Is it posible to do it? Or use some third-party
    product?
    Thank you for help

  • Error synchronizing folders in Outlook 2010

    I have an IMAP account set up on Outlook 2010 using Windows Vista and every so often (not all the time), I get the following message:
    Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for [email protected]' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for [email protected] Error: Cannot connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your
    server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
    I thought it may be my McAfee anti-virus, but I disabled the firewall and continued to get the message. This error doesn't always pop up and the folders do sync most of the time. It's only sometimes I get this error. Any idea what is the cause and how
    to resolve? Thanks.

    I know that you disable the McAfee anti-virus but no avail. Have you also turn off the email integration(scanning) option? If not, please try it.
    Some people reported that they resolved it after uninstalling McAfee and then re-install it without the email integration(scanning) option.

  • Transfer folders from outlook 2010 to hotmail server.

    Hello,
    I have homail account and one day I discovered that some folders are missing my emails messages and also the sent folder missed all emails message in years 2012 till 2014. ( i don't know if my account been hacked or i deleted them by mistake). fortunately,
     I used to have outlook 2010 in my laptop and desktop as well, my laptop was the same like hotmail online. but i was lucky because I didn't open my desktop computer for about a month, so I opened my desktop ( network cable removed to avoid sync)  and
    found all missing emails and sent folder containing my missing messages, first I made a copy of myemail.pst to external hard disk, then I copied the sent folder to inside other folder in outlook 2010. and connected network cable and outlook synchronized to
    hotmail server and now outlook 2010 in my desktop are the same like online but the folder i copied still there but not transferred to hotmail server ( I checked hotmail account using browser).
    My question are how to transfer those folder data to hotmail server so i can access them from any where?
    my email: [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Yasser

    Pst-files can be connected via:
    File-> Open-> Open Outlook Data File
    Once connected, you can move the messages from one folder to another like you normally would.

  • Search issue with Outlook 2010 SP2 in Online mode

    We are dealing with a weird issue that started after a routine maintenance window this past week.  We took our Exchange 2010 server down while we performed maintenance on our SANs.  After bring the servers back up we have developed an issue in
    Outlook with searching.  When a user searches for emails only those that are before the outage are returned in the resultant set even if an email from after the outage matches the search.  However, if you search from OWA all the expected results
    are returned.  Please remember that we are in Online mode with Outlook and not cached mode.
    I can say that I have checked Exchange and it appears that all indexes are fine and the fact that OWA returns the correct result would prove that.
    One other thing to note.  If you do an Advanced Find in Outlook and select frequently-used text fields it give weird search results, but it will include the emails from this week.
    What am I missing?  I can't think of anything else to look for.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, when Outlook is in Online Mode, the search is based on the Exchange Search Service. Although the search works on OWA, I still suggest you try re-indexing on Exchange Server to check the result.
    Moreover, there are some steps we can perform to narrow down this issue:
    1. Switch to Cached Exchange Mode, then the Index is based on the local computer, check if then the issue persists. If the issue persists, we can say it's not about the index, maybe something else stops Outlook from searching properly, such as an add-in.
    Also, it can be a workaround if it works in Cached Mode.
    2. Create a new Outlook Profile to setup the account, check if the problem persists. Please do not remove the previous profile as this is just a test, I want to know if the problem persists with a new profile.
    Please feel free to post back with more details.

  • Can no longer see messages in public folders in Outlook (2010) conversation view

    (originally posted this under MS Community outlook discussion and it was suggested I post it here):
    Hello:
    I believe this may be related to a recent update, but previously I could see messages from public folders in my conversation view.  Now, I am only able to see messages in private folders (including sent items).
    I have the cached exchange mode on.
    I loved the conversation view because I could move e-mails out of my inbox to public folders (on our company server) to keep my inbox under required size limits, but still have easy access to e-mails within the conversation string.  That view in my
    opinion was the best upgrade to Outlook when it first came out.  Now it's virtually useless for me again.
    If there's something i can change to get those messages re-appearing again I'd really love to know what I can do, it was really useful for me.
    Thanks in advance to any who reply!

    Hi,
    Based on the descrtiption, I know that there is no emails exist in public folder when using conversation view in Outlook after installing update.
    1. I suggest use OWA to check whether emails exist in public folder when using Conversation View. If it works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    2. Please check the connectivity between Outlook and Public Folder.
    3. I suggest disable conversation view for test to verify whether emails appear in public folder. If the emails appear, it seems an issue on Outlook Conversation View.
    4. I also suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins. Try to re-create profile to refresh the caches.
    Thanks

  • Folders in Outlook 2010

    Hi,
    Our company just changed domain names as part of a rebrand and in the process acquired new email addresses.  Our new email address are IMAP/SMTP accounts.  I was able to set them up but noticed that the new accounts don't have the traditional "junk
    email" and "sent items" subfolders.  I need some help figuring out how to have those included in our new accounts. Secondly, I created an auto-forward rule from our old accounts to our new accounts, but is there a way to have them auto-forwarded
    so that the original sends name is in the address line in the inbox as opposed to the our own old email address that auto-forwarded the message?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Logon your webmail, are there the folders that are missing from Outlook Client? Did you use Exchange before the domain name changed?
    If you changed from Exchange to IMAP, the name of the folders may change. For example, it was "Sent Items" in Exchange Accounts, but it is "Sent Mail" in IMAP Accounts. It should sync between Web and Outlook.
    Since the emails are forwarded by your old email address, so in fact, the emails are sent from your old email address, we cannot change that fact. The thing we can do is to tell the original senders to send to your new address
    after you received the forwarded emails.

  • Ghost folders in Outlook 2010 - "the file so that changes to the file will be reflected in your item"

    I've seen many threads about these ghost folders that are created in my PST files, but the only solution proposed - create new pst and move the items there - is not working for me. I just created two new pst files, moved the old emails to the new ones, removed
    old pst's and closed Outlook. When I opened it again, the ghost folders were created in the NEW pst files I had  just created.
    Have there been any progress in a solution to this?
    Thanks.

    Please use the MFCMAPI tool and logon your Outlook profile to find the certain PST.Then Try to delete the “ghost folder” as the following steps to check the result.
    Open MFCMAPI.exe > Session > Logon your current profile > Hightlight the PST and double click to open it > Root Container > Top of Personal Folders > Find the certain folder > Right click and Delete folder.

  • Setup a simple sales funnel with exchange 2013 public folders and outlook 2010 -2013

    BCM for Outlook is big and has too many choices. What we want is a combination of contacts and tasks within a public folder so we can see what others are doing. If possible I want
    to make a connection between an contact and a task. The task should have some extra fields like branches responsible organization members status etc. Does anyone have a simple solution which is easy to implement in a small organization of 10 people?

    Hello,
    First of all thank you for your answer. The Outlook version I'm using is 14.0.7113.5005 and the Exchange versuin is CU3. As I'm testing it on XP client it is probably the issue in the PS. I'll try it with Win7 client probably tomorrow. I wonder if there
    exists any kind of workaround for XP clients.
    Thank you in advance,

  • Outlook 2010 duplicates mail with setting Leave mail on sever, Delete After n days and pressing Send/Receive All folders

    The setting Leave mail on the server and Delete after n days and Pressing Send/Receive all folders causes outlook 2010 to duplicate all mails of the last n days over and over again.
    If I leave outlook 2010 open this problem does not occur, mail will be retreived without a problem. If I leave Outlook 2010 open for a long time and then press Send/Receive all folders it does work ok. If I restart Outlook 2010 and then press Send/Receive
    all folders the problem occurs.
    The pst file is a new one. OTher mail accounts that do have Leave mail on the server but not Remove after n days do not have the duplicating behaviour.
    I have manually removed 6400 duplicate mails, if Microsoft does not solve this urgent problem soon I need to remove Office 2010 from my computer and go back to Office 2007, Office 2007 worked fine for me.
    Is there a solution fir this problem, or a free tool to remove all duplicates?

    Dear Pieter,
    I suggest creating a new Outlook profile, and create the problematic account in the new profile, to see if the problem occurs.
    Here are the detailed steps on how to create a new profile to test this issue
    ==============
    1.    Exit
    Outlook.
    2.    Go to
    Start > Control Panel, click or double-click
    Mail.
    Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending upon the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected,
    and whether a 32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook is installed.
    The easiest way to locate
    Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the
    Search box at the top of window, type Mail. In
    Control Panel for Windows XP, type Mail in the
    Address box.
    Note    The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
    The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select
    the profile name, and then click Properties.
    3.    Click
    Show Profiles. Choose Prompt for a profile to be used.
    4.    Click
    Add.
    5.    Type a name for the profile, and then click
    OK. Please also follow the onscreen instructions to create the email account in this profile.
    6.    Start
    Outlook, and choose this new profile.
    If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile, the old Outlook is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything
    I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Sally Tang

    Hi,
    What’s Exchange Version? Sometimes, after Installing Exchange 2010 SP 1, Searching via OWA or Outlook Online Mode may Fail. If so, please try the following solution:
    Download the script
    Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 from the Script Center.
    Copy the Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1 script to the Scripts directory on the Mailbox server (default installation is C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\v14\Scripts).
    On the afflicted Mailbox server, open the Exchange Management Shell by right-clicking the shortcut and selecting “Run as Administrator”.
    Within the Exchange Management Shell, navigate to the Exchange Scripts directory.
    Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script: .\Repair-ExchangeSearchSymlinks.ps1
    Within the Exchange Management Shell, run the following script (without the symbols [] and substitute the database name(s) for any databases you wish to reset: .\ResetSearchIndex.ps1 [-force] <dbname> [<dbname>]...
    You will receive an Event ID 109 when the rebuilding of the index starts for each database and an Event ID 110 for each database when the index rebuild has completed.
    After receiving Event ID 110 for each database, test to make sure search functions correctly with both OWA and Outlook operating in Online Mode.

  • ITunes 10.1, Outlook 2010 Sync-Problem

    Dear Apple community,
    My name is Thomas, I'm 27 years old, come from Austria and i am new here.
    As it´s most, I came to this forum in search of a problem solution.
    Unfortunately, I have not found this solution yet, so I opened this thread.
    Here is my problem:
    I use a PC with Windows 7 Business, Outlook 2010 and iTunes 10.1.
    Now I would like to synchronize my Outlook contacts using iTunes on my iPhone.
    But in Outlook, I have several contact folders, as well as Private, professional, etc.
    With Outlook 2007, I was able to synchronize the contacts folders i want with iTunes.
    In Outlook 2010 the option to select the contact folders i want no longer appears in iTunes. I can only select the option to synchronize all contacts.
    So my question:
    Are there any known problems when you synchronize multiple contact folders with Outlook 2010 and iTunes 10.1?
    Is there a trick, that I can see my individual Outlook contact folders in iTunes again?
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Thomas

    This was reported months ago, but Apple don't care enough to fix it.
    If it was just Outlook 2010, I could understand the problem was with Microsoft, but I have experienced the same problem with Outlook 2007. I have even gone back to using iTunes 9.2.1.5, and still I can't sync my calendar with Outlook, which has rendered my iPod Touch useless since I have to use my old iPaq Pocket PC.
    Had this bug been fixed, I would have bought an iPhone.
