Search for Emails
-
After having signed into the Outlook for Web page enter a search term in the top search bar, and select the magnifying glass to run the search. Any search results from your primary mailbox will be displayed below the search.
-
You can refine your search using the down arrow next to the magnifying glass. This will reveal more filters to narrow down your search, including the email dates, subject, from/to, and if the email has an attachment or not.
-
If you are unable to locate the email in your primary mailbox, you can select your In-Place Archive mailbox from the left navigation pane. This mailbox will contain older messages for archiving.
-
After expanding the In-Place Archive mailbox, select the folder you want to search for the message in.
-
Return to the top of the page and enter your search term in the search field, and select the magnifying glass to run the search. Repeat step 2 if needed to refine your search.
-
If you are unsure of what folder to search in for the message, you can select the drop-down left of the search bar, and select "All folders in Archive. This will run your search against all messages in the In-Place Archive mailbox. This search may take longer as there are more messages it will be searching through.
