Creating a Search Folder for a domain (e.g. microsoft.com)

Being the administrator for Office 365 requires constant communication with Microsoft--especially for issues that affect all cloud users. 

I wanted an easy way to keep that email in my Inbox, but group it together. Utilizing an Outlook feature of "Search Folders" for the account, I did just that.



  1. Right Click on the Search Folders icon
  2.  Select "New Search Folder" 



  3. In the New Search Folder Dialog box select "Mail from and to specific people"
  4. Click on "Choose..." 
  5. The Global Address List picker will pop up. 
  6. In the "From or Sent to ->" field enter the domain (e.g. microsoft.com)
  7. Click OK
  8. Wait while your new search folder is created and populated


That's it! Now you just have to remember the folder is there to use during your daily activities.
