I use the web version of Outlook 365 solely for the quick folder search functionality when trying to move a message to specific folder.

Will this functionality be added to the desktop client for Outlook 365?

    Hi @Howlett, Josh ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    As i know, Search Folder in Outlook desktop client only provides a view of all email items that match specific search criteria, but Not move the emails. More information:

    Use Search Folders to find messages or other Outlook items

    If you want to move emails that match specific criteria, it's suggested that you could create rules to automatically move them or create quick steps for easier operation:
