So if you’re like me you generally keep way too much email in your gmail account. Usually it’s a good thing when your looking for that email from two years ago that you sent to your friend with a file attachment that you suddenly want to find again. This got me to thinking that perhaps I should make a collection of the gmail search features that I use fairly regularly and put them into one place, because maybe someone else will find it helpful.
From: name@email.ext
To: name@email.ext
(where name@email.ext is the email address)
How to find files with attachments:
has:attachment
Specific file types:
has:attachment XXX
(where XXX is extension)
How to find emails in a date range
after:YYYY/MM/DD before:YYYY/MM/DD
If there are search parameters that you use a lot and want them added to this list please let me know.
