View all mail items without searching

I am using Outlook 2007, and would like to be able to view all of my mail
items in one view, without doing a search. For instance, when I select "All
Mail Items" in the navigation pane, I am prompted to "Perform a search to
show items in this view." If you have used FirstClass Email Client, you
should be familiar with this. Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.

I figured this out...if anyone is interested.
Follow these steps:
In Navigation pane, right click "Search Folders", then, select "New Search
Folder". In the New Search Folder dialog box, scroll down and select "Create
a custom search folder", then click "choose" to Customize Search Folder. Type
a name for the folder, such as "All of My Mail", then Select "Browse" which
gives you the option to pick and choose any or all existing folders you want
to include in this folder. Since this is "All of My Mail" I suggest
unchecking the "Main Mailbox" and then selecting all other folders, except
"Deleted items". After selecting folders to include, Click "OK". This takes
you back to the Customize dialog box. Select "OK".

Now you have all of your messages in one folder, where you can use the
"View" options on the main menu to organize them however you want.
