thanks.
I basically wanted a way to find a certain folder much faster where I want
to store away email messages. I have so many PST fiels and folders taht I
sometimes waste a lot of time to just find the right folder. despite the
quite structured folder setup I have..
it's a pity that this little feature is not part of the search within OL2007
or WDS...

Well Vista is somewhat different to winxp and what is available in Vista
is not available in winxp
PS I use Vista also, the search you are describing is basically a desktop
search app, with enhancements, which are not avilable in other DTS apps.
Allthough you may find an OL plug in which is more acceptable to you

Thanks DL. But that is NOT what I was looking for. I already use WDS and
X1.

In Vista you can search in a search field just above the start button for
programs/folders that appear in the start menu.
I need the same for Outlook navigation sidebar. The desktop search tools
have another use (mainly searching for messages and files).

There are a number of DeskTop search apps, Windows Desktop Search for
one, I use Copernic. They wont appear within OL, but will have a search
pane in your task bar

While setting up a new laptop for my daughter, I experienced a nice
Vista feature. There is a search field just above the Start button.
Typing into that search field will limit the shown choices for the
start menu to the items that match the search string.. as you type.

I am fond of a similar feature for the navigation pane in Outlook 2007,
since I have a lot of PST files with a lot of folders.

Anyone knows if there is something similar for OL2007?

I am not talking about the search within OL2007, nor WSS. People using
Vista will probably know what I mean.

Thanks for any pointer.

Dan
