Default How to find complete path to email from search window?

Is there any way to find out the complete "path" where an email is stored?

I have a fairly complicated configuration of email folders. I have 8-10 top-level folders, each of which may have several sub-levels, etc. In some cases, the nesting goes 5-6 levels deep.

This has been great for organizing the emails, but it has become a problem when searching for emails. The search window shows the name of the folder each email is in, but it does not show the full path, so I don't know where that folder is in the hierarchy. I really don't want to go opening up every level.

The MSFT help for this says to open the email and look in the properties. This is useless. It provides the same information -- just the folder name, not the path.

I am using Outlook 2007.
