Allow more advanced filtering from the outlook filter pane

From a new user who may not understand everything yet (so please correct me if I'm being dumb)... I would really like to see the filter pane improved to include:

Thanks good feedback Richard. Currently we don't offer those extra option on the Filter area, although that was mainly to conserve screen space. We'll revisit that decision.

In the interim you can 'hack' the filter yourself, although it's not ideal. In Outlook you can use the 'View / Current View / Customize Current View...' option. From there you can edit the 'Filter' portion to enter your own query, e.g. "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" != 'Support' would select all message with a NOT on the support tag.

As for the search folders on the non-default store, that's an Outlook restriction, but we are investigation ways around this.

Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks David - the interim Hack is very useful so thanks for suggesting that, I had no idea that SQL filter existed!

    Incidentally, having now played around, for others trying the hack I find this works better:
    NOT("urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" = 'Support')

    This excludes items which have more than one tag if any one of them is "Support".
