Searching for Outlook emails

[Boaz]

Hi, Does anyone know how to get outlook emails show up in Alfred searches?

If you're a Powerpack user, could you fill in your Powerpack address as there are better ways to filter using Workflows which I can describe.

 

As a non Powerpack user, your only option is to add the location of the Outlook emails to Alfred's Default Results > Search Scope, then untick Features > File Search > Search > Don't Show > Emails.

 

I'm not sure the exact location of Outlook's folders, but a quick search on Google reveals that it will be something similar to:

 

~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile

 

This may allow emails to be shown in your default results, but as I don't have Outlook, I can't verify this. I'd generally recommend against adding emails to Alfred's default results, as this will make the file search significantly less useful, which is why using a Workflow is better, it can keep the email results separate.

 

Cheers,

Andrew

A File Filter pointed at your Outlook data is your best bet.
