Outlook2013 contains built-in templates to create search folders for unread messages, messages flaggedfor follow-up or messages with attachments. Outlook 2013 can also create search folders based onthings like specific words in a message or messages received from specific people.</p><p>End users can create search folders without administrative intervention by simply selectingOutlook's Folder tab, clicking the New Search Folder icon and then choosing the searchfolder type they want to create.</p><p>Search folder creation is a user-level function, so there is no easy way for an administrator tocreate default search folders and apply them to each user's mailbox.
