The number of starred messages showing from INBOX does not include starred messages in folders. Is there a way to search for all starred messages, or [preferred] to have a folder that SHOWS all starred messages. I like to put starred messages in appropriate folders, but also like to review them regularly in case they were "dated" or no longer deserve the starred status. Thanks, and BTW, I am 69, a semi-retired pastor, so make it simple for me if you can. Blessings, Dave

  2. Select checkbox 'Search subfolders'
  3. Select 'Match all of the following'
  4. Select 'Status' and 'is' and 'Starred'
  5. click on 'Search' button

If you need to modify anything such as remove a folder from the search or add a new one etc.

  • Right click on the 'All Starred' folder and select 'Properties'
  • Click on 'Choose' to modify selection
  • click 'OK'
  • click on 'Update'

Note this search folder should keep up to date.
