Hello All,
I use Outlook 365 as my primary e-mail client.  I often save important correspondence in nested folders within Outlook.

Sometimes, when I move a message from the In Box to another folder, I inadvertently misfile it and can’t find it readily.
I locate wayward e-mails by using Outlook’s Search function 

As originally configured, Searchfinds the document(s) and I can then refile it properly but I want to know where I originally misdirected it.
Here is how I get that information.

 I add the In Folder column to my Outlook file system.
To do so, open Outlook and at the file system, click on the View tab.
Select Add Columns
 From Select available columns from, scroll the drop-down menu
 
Choose In Folder and click the Add Button/OK
 
This will add the In Folder column to your Outlook file system

This information, with explanatory screen shots to better illustrate the steps, is viewable as a Word document on my web site at
