Searching emails in Gmail
I have observed that a few organisations' gmail account is not working due to exceeding limit of received emails. Here is an article to guide how to search emails with larger size or received on very date to find out & delete...
It is well said that knowledge and skills increased by sharing with others. As per my knowledge, I am sharing an experience to search emails and delete or clear the memory of Gmail Account. It's must to share such tricks with others who are not capable to do and facing difficulties.
Google Mail Inboxes:
The Google provides
limited storage capacity (i.e. 15GB at present) to each user and after the
capacity is used, it starts asking either to buy storage or delete the stored
data. In order to delete the old emails or attached files; everybody requires
to be cautious whether the same may be required in future or not. Let us
understand a few tactics which can help in cleaning the old raw data stored in
google account.
Searching emails with Larger Size:
Whenever it is required
to search the emails with attachments either in send emails or in gmail inbox
or in any other folder; then the user may search the emails; however, the
Google has no feature to sort the emails according to alphabetic order or as
per their size. In search, type “Larger:10M” to find out the email with size
10MB or more. In case, the emails are not useful then the emails can be
deleted. After deleting the email, it is required to go to Trash or Bin folder
and then again delete the emails from there to clean the space. Thereafter, the emails
with “Larger:5M” may be searched and then clean accordingly.
Searching emails with date of creation:
Sometimes, it is required
to search the folders in emails with date of creation. Search by typing “Before:YYYY/MM/DD”
to search emails created before a specified date. For example, “Before:2015/11/11”
will search emails created before 11th November, 2015.
In case, it is required
to search emails created before a specified date and with a particular size; then
the options can be clubbed. For example, “Before:2018/11/11, Larger:1K” will
search the emails created before 11th Nov 2018 and with size larger
than 1 KB.
Creating Filter to search emails:
The search option in
gmail also has a downward point arrow at the right side corner of the search
bar; to select the custom search. The same can also be utilized to search the
emails qualifying specific desired criteria.
