I have lost a folder in Outlook

It must have been dragged into another folder. I literally have thousands of folders.

When I search for an email in this folder I can find them. I then hover the mouse over the email and I can see it is in the correct folder, but it doesn't show me the entire path.

Anyway I can see the entire folder tree of where these emails are?

Yes, just expand every folder.

Yes, but hoping to avoid having to do this and spend half a day hunting.

It would be great if I could just see the "Properties" of it like I can with a normal file. It's entire path

  1. Right click the Inbox for your mailbox.
  2. Go to properties.
  3. Click "folder size".
  4. Browse the fully extended list of all folders and subfolders till you find the one you need.
  5. ???
  6. Profit!

I had a similar problem with my outlook the other day. Look for the email in the "Search Folders" folder in your mailbox. I had stuff hiding in there which technically shouldn't exist! O_O

hope it works for you :)

The only way to search for a folder in outlook is to use a macro. There are plenty of good ones that can be found with a google search.
