Over the years at each Internet user gigabytes of electronic correspondence collect. Find something in old letters often happens very difficult. In the Gmail mail there is a search string for search among thousands of letters. Whether but many of us use search with all efficiency? There is a set of tools which much more simplify life if to be able to use competently them. And the main thing, they are already implemented in Gmail, it is necessary to remember several simple combinations only.
Instruction
1. First of all we come into the mail. It is necessary to make a reservation that we will come into mail not via email applications, and via the web browser. Google recommends to use for the mail - who would doubt - the Chrome browser.
2. In Gmail there is a great number of operators of advanced search who can facilitate considerably to you life. All of us - them will not consider too much (all available operators of advanced search it is possible to find in the help on Google mail). Let's consider the most demanded. So, here they:
- from: - search by the sender (it is possible to specify e-mail or just a name);
- to: - on the addressee (similarly);
- subject: - looks for certain words in a letter subject, search by a subject;
- OR - a logical operator ""or"", can be applied in different variations to more flexible search (it is obligatory to write with capital letters);
- label: - search of letters with a certain label;
- has: attachment - search of letters with attachment;
- """ "(quotes) - search in mail by an exact phrase;
- in: - search area; for example, in: inbox - search in incoming letters;
- after: / before: / older: / newer: - search of letters in different periods - after date, before date, is older than, is newer than; date is entered in a format 01/01/2015;
- larger: / smaller: - search of letters by the size - ""is more, than" "and" "it is less, than""; use of reductions of ""kb"" and ""MB"" is allowed.
3. Let's make sure of power and convenience of search operators.
For example, the addressee Ksyusha needs to find all letters since December 1, 2015 and having attachment it is more than 1 MB.
Let's make search query so:
to: Ksyusha larger: 1mb older: 12/01/2015
And now we will find all answers of Ksyusha since the same date to which the label ""Personal"" was assigned:
from: Ksyusha older: 12/01/2015 label: Personal
That is, making request, we simply combine search operators, we will not find yet that it is necessary for us. The list will prompt you the best solution above.
