Outlook 2015: How Can I Search a Folder and its Equivalent Archive Folder at the Same Time?
Outlook 2013 archives your old mail in the Archives area within a folder of the same name as its original location (for example, a message previously residing in an Inbox subfolder called "Board Items" will be moved to the Archives section to an Inbox subfolder also called "Board Items."
I need to be able to conduct a search from a folder in the main data store but have the scope include the equivalent folder in the Archives section. Is that possible? Changing the scope to All Mailboxes or Current Mailbox is too broad.
If this is not possible with the existing Outlook controls, it is possible to do it with VBA code?
