Finding MS Outlook Emails with Everything

Post by Lola13 »

Hello everyone, first off a big thank you to the developers of the software application, I was using google desktop for years and it pales in comparison to this product.

One question though is there a way for Everything to find emails which are in Microsoft Outlook?

I tried setting up an include folder which had the file types of outlook files but that did not work. I have tried typing the subject titles in Everything but the emails do not come up.

So just want to know if it is possible to find Outlook emails and if so how can I do it.

Thanks in advance for your help

Many (all) outlook messages are contained within each .pst or .ost Outlook file. You would need a program that understood and parsed these files to find individual messages. Such tools do exist.

If you search the forums for "Outlook" you will find that void already answered this question for Everything:

No, Everything is filenames only.
