Microsoft Outlook Folder Search Add-On

Hana Outlook Folder Search is a Microsoft Outlook add-on that provides additional folder search functionality and management. Outlook users who work with dozens or even hundreds of folders will appreciate the add-on the most while users with only a handful might not at all. It is a specialized Outlook add-on that provides in interface outside of Microsoft Outlook. It is best used next to Outlook to take full advantage of the possibilities it offers. It provides instant search as you type results and finds folder names in seconds. Please note that this is restricted to folder names, it will not find emails at all.

A double-click on a folder in the Outlook add-on will open it directly in a new Microsoft Outlook window. It is furthermore possible to copy mails to the folders in the Outlook add-on which might prove to be a quicker way for users with lots of folders. This can be done by right-clicking selected emails in Outlook and selecting “Move Selected email to this folde” or by using the shortcut [Ctrl V]. Folders can be added to favorites for quick access.

The second interesting option that is provided by Hana Outlook Folder Search is to remove email duplicates from selected folders. The add-on can automatically check for duplicate emails. This is done by checking the message-id headers and comparing it to emails that have been received in the last 48 hours.

The Microsoft Outlook add-on is definitely not an add-on for every Outlook user. The duplicate mail detection might make it interesting for users that do not use the add-on’s main search feature.
