Is there a way to identify which folder an Outlook e-mail message is in, once the message is identified in a search? (I can find the message, but I would like to know the folder it's in.)

I don't think it's easy to do programmatically because although the XML includes a URL to get the cached version of an e-mail it does not work to add format=xml to that URL to get an XML structured version of the cache entry.

If you are a human then click on the blue link to view the cache, click on "View in Outlook," and then from Outlook do ALT-ENTER (or select File / Properties). The containing folder name is listed as the "Location." There does not seem to be a way though to find out the full path to an e-mail. For example a location of "Deleted Items" could be in one of half a dozen PST files for me.

Going back to programmatic (and I assume that's what you want if you asked on GDS developers) you could parse the HTML result for the cached message to look for "View In Outlook" and then extract the <a> link. There's a field in there called ID which may be usable with Outlook.
