I recently made the switch from Livemail 2012 to Outlook 2016 for my email. The problem is I can't search through old messages! I use to be able to do that just by right clicking on a folder and selecting the appropriate option from a context menu. I have used Outlook at work. I am surprised.

Hello Clegane,

You can use the "Instant Search" feature present in Outlook 2016 to search for messages. For more details check the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...3-ca444848a99c

Hope this helps you.
