Managing Email

Search Mail

The Search Mail feature allows you to perform a Google Search in your email. This means you can find any message, no matter how new or old. It searches every part of the message, so you can find a message even if you don't remember who sent it, or if you never labeled it.

To search for a message:

  1. At the top of the page, type some search terms in the Gmail search box, and click search Mail.

  2. Your inbox will display your search results. You can click on an email to read it, or you can try a different search.

If you're still not finding what you're looking for, you can click Show search options to perform an advanced search.
