Searching your mail

There's a search box at the top of the mailbox for finding messages.

Availability

Email and Calendar work only if your company uses Microsoft 365 and your account is connected to it. If you don't see Email in your menu, it isn't enabled for you — check with your HR or IT team.

Steps

1. Click Email in your menu to open your mailbox.
2. At the top of the page, click the box labelled Search emails... (it has a magnifying-glass icon).
3. Type what you're looking for, such as a sender, subject word or phrase. After a short pause, the message list displays matching results from your mailbox.
4. Select a result to read it. If there are 1,000 matches, refine the query to find a more specific result.

Tips

• Clear the box to go back to the normal folder view.
• Search results use the mailbox search service. Clear the query to browse a particular folder instead.
