My question How can I see all mails in the Microsoft Outlook web interface (OWA)? (mirror) was closed by a moderator.

I chatted with the moderator regarding the closure and I believe the moderator closed the question because the answer to my question would be that "it is not possible." I don't believe this to be a valid close reason. Instead, the question could be answered with an explanation as to "why it's not possible to list all emails."

For example, the following answer could have been given:

The emails are stored in folders in the Microsoft Outlook web interface (OWA). OWA doesn't provide the option to view emails from different folders at once. Therefore, it is not possible to list all emails. However, one can run a search on emails across all folders.

Also, I would remark that I also posted the question on Reddit where it received a clear answer and nobody asked me to clarify the question. Here's loskinski's answer on Reddit:

There is not an equivalent view of the all folders approach that you reference from Google. When you use Folders you will get a view of just that folder in Outlook.

So why was the question closed here?

The question has since been removed by Roomba so I am including below the version that was closed as well as the version that includes subsequent edits that the mod did not reopen.
