Search and find what you’re looking for

The search feature is a powerful tool that you can use for your entire account. It also searches in shared folders.

Before you start searching, we want to advise you to check your settings in your account. Go to Preferences > General > Do not have a marker in the box for Show advanced search language in search toolbar. However it might be smart to have markers in the boxes to include trash and shared objects in searches.

Type what you’re looking for in the search field.
Select one of the options in the menu and press ENTER / click on the magnifying glass. E-mail is set as default.
The search results are now presented in a new tab.
If you get too many results, you can filter the results based on a variety of criteria.

Conditions for searches

Click the terms AND, OR, NOT or () to add to the search.
For example, search for e-mails where the term “red flowers” are mentioned together, put parentheses around those two words. NOTE! AND is used implicitly between adjacent words.

You can create new folders for your e-mails and in your briefcase in several ways.

A folder that you keep in the top level of the briefcase, may not have the same name as a folder located in the top level in your inbox, address book or calendar. However a folder that is on another level, can have the same name.

To see how many e-mails/files are kept in a folder, or just view it’s total size, hover the pointer over the folder for a while and a pop-up will give you the information.

If you want different colors on your folders, right-click the folder and choose Edit Properties.

Moving Folders

In the left column where you see your folders, you can drag and drop them to the desired location.
If it is a shared folder, it is only the owner of the folder that can change its location. Files can however be moved, if you have the permission.
In your inbox you can also right-click the folder and choose Move.

When you click Yes, a copy of the folder will be placed in the left column in your account and the e-mail message will automatically be moved to the Trash. You can change name and color again at a later stage if you right-click the folder and select Edit Properties.

If you haven’t received an invitation via email or misplaced it, you can still accept the sharing at the preferences tab > Sharing.
