    Outlook Search Feature Not displaying Folder Column


    After doing a search for a message in Outlook (MS Office Home & Business 2016) the answer appears on the screen. But there is no mention of the folder column to show in what particular folder the message resides in. I would to see the name of the folder where I had moved it to.
    How can I display the column where this message is at when doing a search?

    Hi Tegiro

    Once search is completed click on one of the Headings, like Subject, then Arrange by and select folder

    No but the emails in the view are broken up by file folder and they say which folder it is from

    Thanks again Ken,
    Still no folder identifying where message is.
    What I see when I follow your instruction are the following menu headings:
    Importance, Sort by Icon, From, Subject, To, Received, Size.
    No menu indicating "Folder"
    This is my problem...how do I get the menu to display the Folder?
    I did a customization and added a Folder but it always comes up empty.

    Interesting. I searched for Caledon. The results appear. I right click "Subject" the arrange by folder. It sorts them into folders as shown with red arrows

    Well, interesting as you say. My screen looks different and I wonder where in my settings I could have it show as you do in your screen?
    Here's what mine looks like:

    At which step does it go wrong?
    1 Do a search [any search] just to get some results showing
    2 Right-click on any column heading & select Arrange by, Custom...
    3 Select Fields
    4 Select All mail fields
    5 Select In folder and click on Add ->

    Denis (and Ken),
    That works great, thank you Denis. I guess it was just a "little" tricky to have it working this way.

    Thanks again,
