Is there a short cut to locate a named folder?

I use TB as a (semi-)permanent filing system for all my sent and received messages.

I have several accounts and each has a large tree of folders and subfolders.

Using the search facility I found a number of messages in a named folder that I could not immediate locate. A quick visual scan of all the folders trees did not locate it, but I needed to do so to move other messages into it.

Is there any facility in TB for bypassing the visual scan and searching for a folder by name?

Hello,

Have you tried to right-click on that message and select "Open Message in Containing Folder"?

Cheers ;-)
