    I would tell you the version I am using, but that now seems to be classified information.  Remember Help --> about that we had for 40 years.  Wait, it's a feature.

    I need to search a folder, not the entire mailbox.  But my searches return emails that are not in the folder.  Search folder seems like such a simple thing.  What on earth is going on?

    Hi Seattle Matt,

    What’s your account type? Exchange, POP or IMAP?

    For Exchange account, do you have cached Exchange mode on?

    In case there was something wrong with the personal data file, please try repairing date files to see the result. You could refer to this article.

    If issue continues, we can try opening Outlook in safe mode to see if the issue continues. Please exit Outlook, press Win key + R to open the Run command, type outlook.exe /safe and then press Enter. This helps eliminate whether the problem lies on any third party add-ins.

    Any updates, please feel free to post back.

    Regards,

    Perry
