To see the folder size link, you must change your navigation pain to “Folder List”. At the bottom of the Navigation pain (the one on the left, you should see buttons to change the view. Once you are in the “Folder List” view, go all the way to the bottom. You will see “Folder Sizes”, “Data File Management…”, and “Customize Current View…” Click on the words “Folder Sizes”. This will open a window with a list of all Folders and subfolders. Look for your “lost” folder there.

I have to agree with last comment. I have a user that has “lost” a folder. More than likely its just been “mis-placed”. It shouldnt be so hard that a user has to call Tech Support to resolve this. Desktop Search should find “folders” as well as the emails in em.

I can’t find the Go menu nor the folder size. It is ridiculous that this task should require a search to find answers – that still don’t work!! I am dismayed that outlook is so hard to manage. It should be simple for users.

This really doesn’t work.

If you knew “where” the folder was in the first place you’d just go there.

There doesn’t appear to be any way to “search” for a folder by name.

Probably something someone will have to write at some point.

Hehe, didn’t work. I have used backslashes here, but I don’t remember how.

One last try:

Using double quotes:

“C:TESTSOMETHING”

Using double backslashes:

C:\TEST\SOMETHING\

Using the code tool:

C:TESTSOMETHING

Enclose your path in single quotes, and backslashes won’t disappear.

Ex:

‘C:TESTSOMETHING”

Why is this thing stripping out the backslashes? Good luch with any sort of technical discussion here.

And I thought Outlook was being stupid…

I can’t use backslashes? That’s weird…
