How to Search Mail in Gmail

Search Mail in Gmail

To find messages in Gmail:

• Type search terms in the Search Mail field.
  • You can go to Search Mail quickly by pressing /.

Use the following operators:

• subject: - Search the Subject line.
  Example: "subject:bahamas" finds all messages with "bahamas" in the Subject.
• from: - Search for sender name and email address. Partial addresses are okay.
  Example: "from:heinz" finds all messages from "heinz@about.com", but also all messages from "your.heinz@tqn.com".
• to: - Search the To line for names and addresses.
  Example: "to:quertyuiop@gmail.com" finds all messages sent directly (not via Cc: or Bcc:) to quertyuiop@gmail.com.
• cc: - Search recipients in the Cc field.
  Example: "cc:quertyuiop@gmail.com" finds all messages that were sent to quertyuiop@gmail.com as a carbon copy.
• bcc: - Search for addresses and names in the Bcc field. Note this only works with emails you sent to Bcc recipients from Gmail.
  Example: "bcc:heinz" finds all messages that you sent with, for example, "hein@example.com" in the Bcc field.
• label: - Search for messages assigned a label. (Replace whitespace characters in label names with hyphens.)
  Example: "label:toodoo-doll" finds all messages labeled "toodoo doll".
• is:starred - Search for messages that are starred.
• With Superstars enabled:
  • has:yellow-star - Search for messages with a yellow star.
  • has:red-star - Search for messages with a red star.
  • has:orange-star - Search for messages with an orange star.
  • has:green-star - Search for messages with a green star.
  • has:blue-star - Search for messages with a blue star.
  • has:purple-star - Search for messages with a purple star.
  • has:yellow-bang - Search for messages with a yellow exclamation mark.
  • has:red-bang - Search for messages with a red exclamation mark.
  • has:purple-question - Search for messages with a purple question mark.
  • has:orange-guillemet - Search for messages with two orange forward arrows.
  • has:blue-info - Search for messages with a blue i.
• is:unread - Search for new and unread messages.
• is:read - Search for messages that have already been opened.
• is:important - Search for messages that are marked important for Priority Inbox.
• has:attachment - Search for messages that have files attached to them.
• filename: - Search within file names of attachments. You can also search for file name extensions to restrict your search to certain file types.
  Example: "filename:.doc" finds all messages with word processing attachments.
• is:buzz - Search for Google Buzz posts.
• is:chat - Search for chats.
• lang: - Search for messages in a particular language. (Specify the language in English; "Chinese" works, but "中文", "Putonghua" or "Mandarin" do not, for example.)
  Example: "lang:French" returns all emails that contain at least un peu de Français.
• in: - Search in a standard "folder". You can search in Drafts, Inbox, Chats, Sent, Spam,Trash and anywhere (for everything, including Spam and Trash).
  Example: "in:drafts" finds all messages in your Drafts folder.
• after: - Search for messages sent after a date. The date must be given in YYYY/MM/DD format.
  Example: "after:2005/05/05" finds all messages sent or received after (and not including) May 5, 2005.
• before: - Search for messages sent before a date.
  Example: "before:2005/05/05" finds all messages sent or received on May 4, 2005 and earlier.
• rfc822msgid: - Search for the message with the — just about certainly unique — message ID. Gmail will not search for messages that refer to the message ID (replies, for example). Example: "rfc822msgid:wW28fb6uf@mail.example.com" finds the message with "wW28fb6uf@mail.example.com" in the "Message-ID:" header field.

Operators and search terms can be combined with the following modifiers:

• By default, terms are combined with (an invisible) "AND".
  Example: "shepherd macaroni" finds all messages that contain both "shepherd" and "macaroni".
• "" - Search for a phrase. Case does not matter.
  Examples: "shepherd's macaroni" finds all messages containing the phrase "shepherd's macaroni"; 'subject:"shepherd's macaroni' finds all messages that have "shepherd's macaroni" in the Subject field.
• OR - Search for messages containing at least one of two terms or expressions.
  Examples: "shepherd or macaroni" finds messages that contain either "shepherd" or "macaroni" or both; "from:heinz or label:toodoo-doll" finds messages that either come from a sender that contains "email.guide" or appear under the label "toodoo doll".
• - - Search for messages that do not contain a term or expression.
  Examples: "-macaroni" finds all messages that do not contain the word "macaroni"; "shepherd -macaroni" finds all messages that contain the word "shepherd" but not "macaroni"; 'subject:"shepherd's macaroni" -from:heinz' finds all messages with "shepherd's macaroni" in the subject that were not sent from an email address or name containing "heinz".
• () - Group search terms or expressions.
  Examples: "subject:(shepherd macaroni)" finds messages that have both "shepherd" and "macaroni" somewhere in the Subject line (but not necessarily as a phrase); "from:heinz (subject:(shepherd OR macaroni) OR label:toodoo-doll)" finds all messages from a sender who has "email.guide" in their name that either have "shepherd" or "macaroni" (or both) in the Subject line or appear under the label "toodoo doll".

Whatever You Give To Life, Life Gives You Back

Whatever You Give To Life, Life Gives You Back
 

A successful businessman was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.

Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.

He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next C.E.O..
I have decided to choose one of you."

The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued.

"I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next C.E.O.."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however, he just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - he so wanted the seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the C.E.O. for inspection. Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened.

Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right.

He took his empty pot to the boardroom. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the C.E.O. arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives. Jim just tried to hide in the back.

"My, what great plants, trees, and flowers you have grown," said the C.E.O.. "Today one of you will be appointed the next C.E.O.!"

All of a sudden, the C.E.O. spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The C.E.O. knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the C.E.O. asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The C.E.O. asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive Officer! His name is Jim!"

Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed.

"How could he be the new C.E.O.?" the others said.

Then the C.E.O. said,

"One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow. All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer!"

* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends

* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective

* If you plant hard work, you will reap success

* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.
