In Outlook 2010 you can add retention policy tags to the search box criteria by digging through the +more on the search ribbon. However I don't see any way to make a search folder to search for items tagged with a retention policy. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Marcus

Hi

Thank you for using Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.

As my research, there no search folder in the list, Folders in which you can create RPTs by following:

Conversation History: This folder is created by Microsoft Lync (previously Microsoft Office Communicator). Although not treated as a default folder by Outlook, it's treated as a special folder by Exchange and can have RPTs applied.

Deleted Items: This default folder is used to store items deleted from other folders in the mailbox. Outlook and Outlook Web App users can manually empty this folder. Users can also configure Outlook to empty the folder upon closing Outlook.

Drafts: This default folder is used to store draft messages that haven't been sent by the user. Outlook Web App also uses this folder to save messages that were sent by the user but not submitted to the Hub Transport server.

Inbox: This default folder is used to store messages delivered to a mailbox.

Journal: This default folder contains actions selected by the user. These actions are automatically recorded by Outlook and placed in a timeline view.

Junk E-mail: This default folder is used to save messages marked as junk e-mail by the content filter on an Exchange server or by the anti-spam filter in Outlook.

Notes: This folder contains notes created by users in Outlook. These notes are also visible in Outlook Web App. RPTs for the Notes folder are supported only in Exchange 2010 SP1.

Outbox: This default folder is used to temporarily store messages sent by the user until they're submitted to a Hub Transport server. A copy of sent messages is saved in the Sent Items default folder. Because messages usually remain in this folder for a brief period, it isn't necessary to create an RPT for this folder.

RSS Feeds: This default folder contains RSS feeds.

Recoverable Items: This is a hidden folder in the Non-IPM sub-tree. It contains the Deletions, Versions, Purges, and Audits sub-folders. Retention tags for this folder move items from the Recoverable Items folder in the user's primary mailbox to the Recoverable Items folder in the user's archive mailbox. You can assign only the Move To Archive retention action to tags for this folder. To learn more, see Understanding Recoverable Items.

Sent Items: This default folder is used to store messages that have been submitted to a Hub Transport server.

Sync Issues: This folder contains synchronization logs. To learn more, see Synchronization error folders.

Hello,

Any update? It has been about 2 weeks.

Thanks,

Marcus

Was there ever an answer to this?  I have the same request:  I am trying to create an Outlook Search Folder with a search criteria to find all messages tagged with a retention policy.   Thanks

No, but I just posted the same question to the Exchange Forums

Hi Marcus

Did you ever find an answer to this?

I never did... I don't see it in Outlook 2013 either. I don't have 2016 installed anywhere handy to check right now but I'm not holding my breath.

I've also looked for a way to do this on the exchange end via powershell but haven't had any luck.
