Lost an email from last month? Outlook can find it faster than scrolling.
Outlook's search looks through all your email at once, so you don't need to remember which folder something is in.
How to search
- Click the Search box at the top of Outlook.
- Type a word you remember from the email, or the sender's name.
- Press Enter, then narrow the results with the filters, such as Has attachments or a date range.
Shortcuts that save time
- from: followed by a name finds emails from that person, for example from:Sam.
- subject: followed by a word searches only the subject line.
- Put words in straight quotes to search for an exact phrase, for example "board meeting".
- hasattachment:yes shows only emails with attachments.
- received:"this week" shows emails that arrived this week.
Not finding it? Check that search is set to look in all folders, not just the current one, and try a different word. If an email seems to have disappeared, it may be in quarantine, or we may be able to recover it. Contact us at support@deepnet.com or 707-755-8000.
