In Outlook2003w/BCM, you can click the yellow folders icon (bottom left) and
see a long list of folders including...

[-] Personal Folder
Calendar
Contacts
etc.

[-] Business Contact Manager
Accounts
Business Contacts, etc.
Search Folders <-----

In layman's terms, I wondered what "Search Folders" is, and it's two menu
choices of "New Search Folder" or "Process all marked headers"?

Thanks

A search folder is like a virtual folder. The Unread Mail search folder will
search all folders in your default mail store and display all unread
messages in one "virtual folder". It's very much like the results of an
Advanced find, you can view all items that meet a certain category, no
matter what folder they are in.
