When you create a Saved Search, you can choose criteria such as email addresses, subject words, tags, or dates. You can even choose different source folders from several accounts.

For example, you may want to view all emails from your supervisor in their own folder named “Supervisor”. Just add their email address to a Saved Search and their emails will automatically show up in the “supervisor” folder as they arrive. Yet the same emails will also still be shown in the source folders like your Inbox.
