My company is planning to use Outlook2003 in a POP3 environment.
I cannot find an explanation of how Find/Advanced Find works -- how the
searches are constructed. In the "help" file, it says you can "search for
items based on a word or phrase."
Using the basic Find tool, when a string of words is entered into the
prompt, the space between the words is apparently treated as an AND. If quote
marks are placed around that string, no items are found. The same is true
with the Messages tab in Advanced Find.
I would like to be able to construct a search for a phrase. I would also
like to be able to construct a Boolean search, using OR and NOT. How do I do
this?
As for the Advanced tab in Advanced Find, well, I haven't been able to
figure out which field name actually applies to the body of the message.
Maybe that's a second question -- what do these field names actually map to?
Thanks for any and all assistance. I'm frustrated with my inability to find
answers to what seem to be very simple questions.
