A Search Folder is a virtual folder that provides a view of all email items that match specific search criteria. For example, the Unread Mail Search Folder enables you to view all unread messages in one folder, even though the messages might be saved in different folders across your mailbox.

You can create four types of search folders:

Deleting a Search Folder
If you no longer need a Search Folder, you can delete it. A Search Folder is a virtual folder. Deleting a Search Folder from the folder list does not delete the messages displayed in the folder. If you want to delete all messages within a Search Folder, open the Search Folder, select all of the messages, then click Delete on your keyboard.
-
In the Folder List, select the down arrow next to the word Search Folders if needed to expand your list of Search Folders.
-
Right-click the Search Folder you want to delete and select Delete Folder.
Important: Deleting a Search Folder does not delete any messages. Deleting a folder that is not a Search Folder will delete both the folder and the messages inside the folder.
