Filtering and Searching Emails¶
What it does¶
Email filtering lets you narrow your inbox to exactly the emails you're looking for, by date, status, sender, keywords, attachments, tags, or any combination. It's the fastest way to find a specific email without scrolling through everything.
How to use it¶
- From any email list view, tap the filter icon (or navigate to the filter panel via the Tools button).
- The filter panel opens. Available filter options for email are:
- Email Fields: filter by sender, recipient, or subject keywords.
- Words Selector: filter by specific words appearing in the email.
- Date Range: show only emails from a specific date range.
- Email Status: filter by read/unread or other status flags.
- Has Attachments: show only emails with files attached.
- Tags: filter by tags you've applied.
- Set your desired filters and tap Apply (or the equivalent confirm button).
- The email list updates to show only matching results.
- Tap Clear or remove individual filters to reset the view.
Tips & shortcuts¶
- Combine Has Attachments with a Date Range to quickly find a document someone sent you last month.
- Use Tags filters after you've consistently tagged emails by category to build a powerful personal filing system.
- Filters persist while you browse, remember to clear them when you want your full inbox back.
