Search results list should show folder
In the old version, when you searched for a phrase or sender, and a results list was displayed, one of the columns in the results list was "folder", so you could see if the listed email was in "Inbox" or one of your other folders. I found that very helpful. It's no longer there. Once again, good functionality lost or forgotten for no apparent reason.

Not sure what the point of the search feature is if you can't see what folder it is in. I can't tell if I am looking at the first message in a thread, my response to it (would be obvious if I could see it was in the my 'sent' folder).

I have 2 mailboxes feeding into my mail. Previously, when I searched, the results would show what mailbox the e-mails were in. Now it doesn't. This is critical for me to delete duplicate e-mails and keep the messages I want where I wan them.

Further, when you click into an email in the search results list, and are looking at the actual email, it still does not display anywhere what folder it is in. The previous/classic email, would display the folder it was in at the top somewhere. Once again, good functionality lost or forgotten for no apparent reason.

Maybe it's just me but I don't add emails to a folder one by one, a lot of times I'll do a mass move. But as it's been noted, you can't see what emails have already been put into folders and which ones are still in the inbox. Even Gmail makes this quite obvious through its labels (or you can label an email and then still have it in your inbox until you archive it). This is like email 101 and it appears you've been looking into it for 3 months yet haven't done anything to fix it. Without basic search features that were available until this new version my inbox has become a sea of unread, unorganized emails. Help!

Search by sender results do not show what folder(s) the email(s) in(are in).

I have 2 separate email addresses linked to my account. Search doesn't say which inbox its in - it is critical that I know this.

Hi Sachin, thank you for your feedback! Yes, we did a search for an email and it wasn't obvious which folder it was in... we will certainly share this with the team!

Once we get search result of email, we must able to figure each mail belong to which folders.
