When I use the search bar to find emails I get a list of results but how can I find out which email folder a particular email is in?
I can highlight or open any of the email 'hits' but nowhere can I see a path or a folder location.

How does that help? I just get a 'Move to' panel pop up - it doesn't tell me where the email resides presently.

Move it to a different folder, then you will know where it is, then move it again if necessary. Mail is nice to use in many ways but folders isn't one of them.
