Clearly you disagree otherwise you wouldn't have stated what you did.. Outlook, however, does show you which folder the mail is in. So "no other" is factually incorrect. > (For example, Thunderbird allows you to select a specific mailbox after you search, but DOESN'T identify what mailbox any individual message is from in the results list. Gmail merges all search results into a single list.) We're talking folders in a mailbox, not mailboxes. And even Gmail shows me the labels (their incarnation of folders). I don't care if you do or don't. But some users care and some MUAs cater for this, and some reasonable arguments can be made for both sides.
