Search
Search runs across synchronized mail rather than querying the IMAP server. Results can span all stored mailboxes and include each result's source mailbox.
Full-text and structured search
Typing starts an indexed full-text search after a short delay. Pressing Enter runs the same search immediately. Plain terms and partial words search message content and metadata. Search indexing is bounded per message so oversized mail cannot disrupt synchronization. The following operators narrow results:
| Operator | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
from: | from:alice@example.com | Sender contains the value. |
to: | to:team@example.com | Recipient contains the value. |
subject: | subject:"release plan" | Subject contains the value. |
has:attachment | has:attachment | Message has at least one attachment. |
before: | before:2026-01-01 | Received before the date. |
after: | after:2026-01-01 | Received after the date. |
The search box suggests operators and matching contacts. Searches can be named, saved, reused, and deleted from the saved-search menu.
