I’ve personally been using gmail as my go-to email client for the past 3 years now and recently I needed to search a few emails extending back a few years ago. Based on that I started looking around some search filters and found a few useful ones including…
- after
- before
- older
- newer
- newer_than
- older_than
Here are a few examples as to how you can use them…
Let’s say you want to look for emails within certain dates in your inbox…
after:2014/01/01 before:2015/12/31
what this means: show me emails after 12:00 am Jan 1, 2014 and before 11:59:59 on December 31, 2015.
Let’s say you want to look recently for emails this should help.
newer_than:1d
what this means: show me emails newer than 1 day (you can also use m for month and y for year)
