Search For Messages

This tutorial shows you how to search for specific messages in your email account using Webmail.

Searching in Webmail

First select the folder you wish to search through on the left hand side of the webmail.

You will find the search tool in Webmail at the top right of the screen right above the list of your email for that folder.

You will be able to click on the drop down and specify what part of the message you would like to search in. The system defaults to Search Senders.

1) Search Senders

You can search for messages using the name or email address that shows up in the From field for an email. This search returns very quick results.

2) Search Subject

You can search for messages using any words that would show up in the subject for the message you are trying to find. This search also returns very quick results.

3) Search Headers

This allows you to search for any words that would show up in the internet headers of the message. You could use this to search to find messages based on:

- the email address the message is going to
- the email system it was sent from
- the time and date the email was sent or recieved

This search does take a bit longer as there is more information to search through, but it doesn't take too long even on larger mailboxes.

4) Search Message
This will find messages based on the information in the actual body of the email message. This search can take a very long time as the body of the message is usually the largest part of the email. Only use this search if you absolutely have to.

Just Enter in the words that will show up in the email you're looking for, select where in the message you want the Webmail to search in and click on Search Mail.

The system will then display what it searched for and what folder it searched for those messages at the top right of the screen. It will also list the messages that match what you were searching for.
