I would regard addressing this problem as entailing two steps:
#1) Recognizing that there is actually
is a problem (rather than insisting that there is already adequate information in the X1 index.)
and
#2) Actually doing something to fix it.
We might
never get to #2, but even getting to Step#1 would represent a significant accomplishment.
Unfortunately, based on Chris Wheaton's response of October 16th,
http://forums.x1.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=4&t=3953&sid=cb05011abe64bcaa6994a246fe4dbc52#pr18595, it seems we can't even get this far.
Adding the Folder Path field accomplishes no benefit.... It's
nearly as useless as adding the Profile name. The biggest reason why it accomplishes no benefit is that X1 does not even utilize the highest level folder name, let alone the name of the .pst file. I have renamed all of upper level folder names from the Outlook default of "Personal Folders". Otherwise, they all appear the same in Outlook. (You can do this either when creating a new .pst file, or by right-clicking the main folder, selecting "Properties", then "Advanced" button.) In any case,THESE NAMES
DO NOT APPEAR IN THE "FOLDER PATH" FIELD IN X!. if they did, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
This is critical, because there are certain folder names, e.g. "Inbox" that not only cannot be renamed, but cannot be moved, (if the folder is associated with a mail account).
WHY DO I CARE ABOUT THIS:
I would ALWAYS like to know--at a glance--which folder (or .pst file) my mail item occurs in.
I've undertaken a project recently to migrate all of my emails out of my IMAP folders into local .pst folder, specifically so I can organize and index them in X1. The problem is that I have probably a dozen or more Archive folders that have various collections of emails, both Sent and Received. There is lots of duplication, and I'm trying to get it all sorted out. There are 10s of thousands of communications involved. Moving them around, renaming folders, having to re-index every time I change something etc etc takes a GREAT deal of time, and I've run out of patience, which means I'm inclined to get a bit feisty about it. I admit its a mess of my own making, but I simply didn't know then what I know now.
I've spent the last few days struggling with this, and it's all the more frustrating because of the unwillingness to recognize it as a problem. Can we not make it to Step #1???

I'd feel better.
