I have an advanced search to find emails in the folders I want by age or date. It runs from VBA and the advanced search string would look something like this: created:(>=10/1/2023) NOT folder:Trash NOT folder:Deleted

I learned some time ago that the right way to search for items in a specific account (I have many email accounts in my Outlook desktop) is to use the "Outlook Data File."

How do I add that criteria to this search?

And - why isn't there a definitive list of criteria/terms for advanced search anywhere on Microsoft's site??!

There was a list, although I would not say it was definitive...
