Question about Outlook Express

My save searches for SMART FOLDERS are not sticking in Outlook 2011 of Mac.  I have a edit the smart folder every day to exclude my DELTED, SENT, JUNK folders for a save search for TODAY's emails.  I like to look in this smart folder view as I move mail into various folders on my Exchange server and local "on my computer."  The feature works great, but I have to rebuild the FOLDER filter every time.  The Advance search keeps the "FOLDER IS NOT" search filter, but breaks the "FOLDERS" to exclude.  Mark
