🚀 Accessing the Search Function

  1. After logging in, navigate to the "Archive" section from the main menu at the top

🎯 Search Interface

The search interface includes several fields that allow you to filter your emails:

  • From Date: Filter emails received after a specific date
  • To Date: Filter emails received before a specific date
  • Account: Filter emails by specific email accounts
  • Direction: Filter emails by direction (Incoming, Outgoing, or All)

Note: The search term is automatically applied to the email content, subject, body as well as sender and recipient fields (From, To, Cc, and Bcc).

💡 Search Tips

📝 Basic Search

  • Enter keywords in the search term field to search for emails containing those keywords
  • The search is case-insensitive
  • Keywords are matched in the email content, subject, and body, as well as in the sender and recipient fields (From, To, Cc, and Bcc)

🔍 Advanced Search Features

  • Exact phrases: Use quotes to search for exact phrases, e.g., "important meeting"
  • Field-specific search: Search within specific fields using field:term format
    • subject:invoice - Search for emails with "invoice" in the subject
    • from:john - Search for emails from "john" in the sender field
    • to:domain - Search for emails to a specific domain in the recipient field
    • body:"important" - Search for emails with "important" in the body
  • Combining features: You can combine both exact phrases and field-specific search

👁️ Previewing Emails

When you click on "Details" at the right side of every search result:

  • The email content will be displayed in the email viewer
  • Attachments will be listed in the attachment section
  • You can download attachments directly
