Find a Message

Emerald Mail allows you to search for a particular message or group of messages stored in the selected folder.

To search a message, first select the folder you want to search from the folder tree panel, then open the "Tools" menu and select the "Find messages" option.

The dialog that appears allows you to define where in the message the keywords are to be searched. You can search in the "From", "To", "Cc", "Reply-to", "Return path", "Date" and "Subject" fields as well as in the "Whole message". The "For" field allows you to define the word or phrase to search for in the selected field.

Press the "Start" button and the search begins. When a message that meets the search criteria is found, the relevant data appears in the list. When the search is finished you can double click on a message entry to have the message opened for reading.
