Click “Manage Views” to see all of the views to which you have access. If you click View > View Settings again, Outlook displays your new view as an available option. Click “OK” when you’ve set everything up. This opens the Copy View window, where you can give your view a name and choose who can see the view. Click View > View Settings again and select the “Save Current View as a New View” command.
You can also keep your customized view as a template so that you can apply it to other folders in the future. You can select as many folders (or subfolders) as you want. Select the folders to which you want to apply the view and then click “OK.” Click View > View Settings again and this time, click the “Apply Current View to Other Folders” command. Once you’ve customized your view, you can apply the same view to any other folder without having to customize each one. Play around with the various options to find what works best for you. You can add or remove lots of different columns, group and sort messages in different ways, and even change the fonts and styles used to display messages. These are just two quick examples of what you can do. The folder view has now changed so that the “Mention” column is hidden and the folder is sorted by the person who sent the mail.
Now click “OK” on the Advanced View Settings. You can customize the current folder view by clicking View > View Settings.
In the Outlook for Android and Outlook for iOS apps, a message returned by a search will show you the folder location automatically, to the right of the message sender's display name.Every place you keep your email in Outlook-whether it’s the inbox, sent items, archive, deleted items, or any other place-is a folder.To find the location of a message returned in your search results, simply open the message in a separate window by double-clicking it, and the folder location will be shown at the top of the window.

Important: The folder location will not include the full path of the folders (if the folder is within other subfolders). This is especially helpful for users with many folders or complex/nested folder structures.
