I created a Search Folder in Outlook 2010 to show me everything in my mailbox that isn't in the Inbox or Archive folders. The rules are:
In Folder is not empty
In Folder doesn't contain Inbox
In Folder doesn't contain Archive
Screenshot: Search Folder Criteria
When I open the Search Folder, it shows me all of my e-mails, including those in the Inbox and Archive folders.
Does anyone know what I did wrong?
Thanks!

I was hoping for a future-proof rule that would explicitly exclude those two folders but include everything else. If I create a new search folder and select a specific set of folders, any new folders that I create will be excluded from the results. – Shane Lawrence – 2017-01-13T15:26:35.990
Yes. But this is the only way. – thims – 2017-01-13T15:59:43.897
Thanks for the help. What does "In Folder" mean then, if not the folder that it's in? – Shane Lawrence – 2017-01-14T17:43:07.400
This field is only populated when you're using it as a column for Search Folder's view. – thims – 2017-01-15T02:47:15.580
Ah, I never would have guessed that! Thanks! – Shane Lawrence – 2017-01-16T19:38:20.333
