Please help. I misplaced a folder in Outlook.
I inadvertently dragged a folder from the Mail Folders pane into the Messages pane and it disappeared. Where did it go and how can I retrieve it?

Hi,
You should find it in the folder pane under the folder that was displayed in the message pane at the moment it occurred.
Thank you thank you thank you! Found it, problem solved.
You're maybe right,
This behaviour was introduced with office '97...
If I multiply the times I had responded to this by the number of IT on Earth.
It could validate the addition of an "Undo" option
Loll...
While someone is here: Outlook 2010: if I misfile an email, I use Outlook's search to find it by content, and often it can manage. But then I have to work out which folder the email is now in, so I add 'In folder' to the default view which search appears to offer, and see something like this:
As you can see, many fields get truncated, esp the folder one, so I often cannot tell from the limited name supplied. Note that going full-screen makes no difference, and 'from' is also truncated, as is the message title, but at a variable length.
Any ideas? This has irritated me for years, but I have never bothered to try to fix it, imagining that it is just another MS programming foible. On reflection, it seems it is always, and just, the last letter - perhaps I should name my folders with an extra 'x' at the end! But then I would like to see the folder hierarchy as well, please.
No ideas of my own. Sometimes I go to slipstick.com, which is an Outlook/Exchange site run by a very knowledgeable person.
I've tried some of the Outlook utilities offered by various small companies, and I'm not exactly impressed overall.
That said, I really like YOUR idea for finding the folder of a message.
We could start an entire thread on Outlook annoyances, but to use an expression I used to hear growing up, "Fat lot of good that will do you."
