Integrated Search function (Ctrl+E) in Outlook 2010 is a great thing. It would be even better if it can show the full path inside the "In Folder:" field for every mail in the list of search result.

Let me explain. In the image below, I move my mouse pointer on one of the mails in the list of search result.

As you can see, that mail is contained inside a folder called "Mobiles", but I have several subfolders called "Mobiles". So I have to go through every "Mobiles" subfolder to find out where that message is -- provided I remember where ALL of the subfolders are located! Therefore, it would be nice if the "In Folder:" field shows the full path.

OK, I could give a better example than this "Mobiles". I have folders like this:

+ Purchases
+---- 2012
+---- 2013

+ Projects
+---- 2012
+---- 2013

+ Company contracts
+---- 2012
+---- 2013

etc

So every time if I found a message in the folder called "2012", it's not sure in which one it is exactly. There is also a situation in which a subfolder is rarely used (ie it contains very few mails) and even if I see the folder name, I'm not sure where it is exactly.

In case you ask, my mailbox is over 1.5GB and I have thousands of mails and about 50 (sub) folders. So, don't tell me I have to remember the whole folder's tree structure!

Please think about this feature for your future Outlook.
