I have an excel VBA macro that can find emails that outlook says don’t exist
I don’t know what the hell happened to outlook’s search function with the update to 11, but I’m convinced it was actual sabotage.
Outlook insists that no one has ever sent me anything. If I search for an email from a specific person, that person doesn’t exist. Unless sometimes they do. The first three letters of their last name, out of order? Fine, can find them no problem unless you’re looking for when they sent you an attachment. Then no.
Copy and pasting their name in to the search bar? Who the fuck you talking about guy??
Looking for an email that has “and” in the subject line?
Here’s every email you have with the letter A in it. Hope this helps! By the way have you tried CLAUDE?!
Yah, I had a similar thought regarding Google and the SEO which changed recipes into page long stories about the author’s grandmother. Instead of wading through all the text to find the ingredients, just use ai.
Please share!!
And them make him create a new Minecraft account
I only ever used it in the past because it was at work and that was the only allowed option.
Do it while being asked by a middle manager if you saw the email last week. Fucking story of my life.
That’s easy, you start in the first folder, look at each email until you find the one you need. If you reach the bottom and haven’t found the mail, move to the next folder and repeat.
For most that shouldn’t take more than 3 to 5 workdays.

Bro, I have 900 unread emails alone. Ill be done in 3 weeks.
Still faster than using the “search” function.
Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.
Making CEOs use their product live is a great idea. It’ll never happen because it’s a great idea.
Tell that to the McDonald’s CEObot
I would pay money to see the McDonald’s CEO eat an entire McDonald’s burger product in a single sitting with zero camera cuts.
Would be interesting for the CEOs of businesses that make BDSM products.
Use? Their livelihood should depend on using functions of their app. “Couldn’t find that email in two mins? Sorry you just lost 100K.”
This is pretty good stuff.
Me: what rule moved that email to a random folder? Outlook: who the fuck knows?
Im not here to support Microsoft, but I am forced to use it at work. And I reference or forward old emails ALL the time. Like yea sometimes the search function brings up some extra shit also, but I’ve never spent more than a minute or two looking for an email.
This might be better than the Guillotine
Not only that but make him eat a McDonald’s hamburger
Life pro tip that will make your IT deparment hate you: you can use Evolution and change the client id to match outlook’s one in the advanced settings. It’ll look like you are using the standard outlook client from your IT department point of view, but you’ll actually get a usable interface instead. I assume that thunderbird has the same options to override the client id, but I haven’t checked.
Don’t blame me if you get in troubles though.
I tried running Thunderbird and while it’s better than Outlook I still did not care for it
Outlook search has gotten way worse in the past year + 🤬
It’s still bad, but you can save an ounce of sanity by keeping a copy of everything locally.
