I had over 20,000 emails from the Rbase list in my folder and searching in Outlook was too slow. I exported the data to a database where I can search much faster and easier. I can make the printouts how I like them with the information I want, etc.

It's also under the menu bar - EDIT\FIND. Click on that and you can search (in the current folder) either the email titles or entire contents of the emails for keywords. You would think it would take forever to search the contents of a few thousand emails, but it really doesn't. However, it does make the search much faster when the email subject reflects the email content. I much prefer a subject such as "SCONNECT wants user ID" instead of "HELP!!!".

I have 3,458 emails in that folder, but there is no way to find what I'm looking for fast. Anyone know of a search on subject in outlook? I don't want to click the subject because I want to keep them in chronological order.
