Microsoft Outlook what Mailbox is this email in?

When I search my emails, and click on a result (or see an email in the list of results), how can I find out what Mailbox that email is currently inside of?

Just in the website email client.


how can I find out what Mailbox that email is currently inside of?

This can be done. I am using Outlook 2016 (365).

Open Outlook, search for the email you want, Find it and open the "found" email.

Press Ctrl-Shift-S and the then Advanced Find dialogue opens and shows you the folder (mailbox) containing the "found" email.

See the screen shot below to illustrate this. The email I found for this test is located in the Folder called Software and that is correct.

If you are using Web Outlook, the Search box is at the top left-hand corner of the Outlook Web App window.

NOTE: If you have an advanced need to search (I use Search frequently), you may wish to download Outlook.com mail to Outlook Desktop (keep it in Outlook.com) and use Outlook Desktop for searching. I have Outlook.com and it is not anywhere near as good as Outlook Desktop.
