I just installed Outlook 2007 on XP Professional.

I have about 30 email folders. Several times a week, I need to search about
6 of them at one time. The six I need to search are not in one directory.
In Outlook 2003 I could highlight just the ones I wanted to search, and
Outlook even saved them as a group for a later search. I can't figure out
how O-2007 does this. I only want to search these emails -- no other files,
Contacts, etc.

Your help would be appreciated.

you can create a search folder for these mail folders. You can no longer
create 'office saved searches' which I'm guessing is what you did in outlook
2003 - it was removed from outlook 2003 via a security update.

Diane:

Thanks! I was not aware of the Search Folders function and it appears to be
exactly what I need.
