I work at a helpdesk and today I received a call from a user who lost a folder in Outlook.
When I connected to the user's PC, I discovered that the user has several hundreds of folders. She had the same name folder in several different locations.

When we used Advanced Find we found the messages. It said that messages are located in folder X. The only problem was, we could not locate the folder X in the list.

Does anyone know of any way to quickly and easily browse all the folders or look up a folder in Outlook 2010?

There is a helpful add-in located here: http://www.add-in-express.com/sample-outlook-addins/outlook-folder-path.php

The add-in allows you to view the folder location on any open message. So, if you had an email in your search results that you could not find, you can open the message and the folder location is listed at the bottom of the message. It is a link, so you can also click on it to go to the folder in the main Outlook window.

Welcome to Super User! Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – nhinkle♦ May 9 at 16:14

There's a Folder List option in the Go menu (at least it's there in Outlook 2007), isn't it what you are looking for?
