## Good to know

- If you are already viewing a shared folder, Advanced Search switches to **Shared Folder(s)** for you.
- Selecting all matching mail across pages is not available for shared-folder searches.
- What you can do with the mails you find depends on the permissions the owner gave you, such as Reply or Forward.
