Is there a plan for New Outlook to update saved search folder criteria?

Dear @Ashia B

Good day. Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum. We are happy to help you!

Based on your description, I understand that you are experiencing difficulties with creating a search folder in the new Outlook that searches for all emails from a specific @domain. Unlike the Classic version of Outlook, where @domain.com could be used as a criterion, the new version requires full email addresses for each individual with the same domain.

After reviewing your situation and testing the functionality, I found the same behavior. Currently, the Outlook search feature for new Outlook is in Preview state, still under development and testing. However, based on user feedback, our development team is continuously working to improve it.

As an alternative, you can switch back to "Classic" Outlook by turning New Outlook Off. If for some reason you don’t see a toggle in the new Outlook for Windows, Kindly check Toggling out of the new Outlook for Windows preview - Microsoft Support

Meanwhile, I also believe that some specific configuration or settings options should be developed under the Outlook, I do understand your concerns about how it can help you be more productive in your busy daily work schedule, but since it's related Microsoft 365 product services and features option under product design, I believe that the related product team can develop some convenient configuration based on customer requests.

Therefore, Microsoft recommend submitting feedback by going in Ideas · Community (microsoft.com)

This community team and the Microsoft product development team are separate. Therefore, for features suggestions or design queries, users need to submit feedback to the Microsoft product design team from their side. Once a user sends feedback through the above means, it will send directly to Microsoft and routed to the relevant product team so that can review it to do specific development in different OS devices.

To see more details on how to submit feedback, see this article Learn about how to provide feedback to Microsoft - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

I hope I have provided you with all the required process information for this current scenario. If you need any further information from our side, please feel free to do so.

I would really appreciate your precious time. Thank you again for your kind cooperation.
