How to search your entire email in Microsoft Outlook for Mac - Hidden Feature






In Microsoft Outlook email program for Mac OS X it can be surprisingly hard to find the Search function to search all email accounts and all folders. There’s a search field that is visible, but it only searches the current folder.
Why Microsoft made the user interface choice to hide the ability to search is somewhat of a mystery to me, but here’s how you access all of the other search options in Outlook.


This works in outlook 2011 as well as outlook 2016 for the Mac

Folder – Searches the current folder only


Subfolders – Searches within the current folder and subfolders


All Mail boxes – Searches all email in Multiple accounts and folders


All Outlook Items – Searches all items in Outlook, including email, calendar entries, to-do entries, address book contacts, etc.
