The basic mail search feature, available near the top of your inbox, allows you to quickly search the senders and subjects of messages. By default, the search feature will check all of your folders except the Bulk folder. To begin a basic mail search, enter your search terms in the input box and click the "Search Mail" button.

Search tips:

• The basic search uses "and" logic when multiple search terms are entered. You can enter multiple search terms; however, the search will return only messages in which the sender or subject contains all of the terms.
• Quotes and commas are not necessary to find a match when entering multiple search terms. (For more control, though, you can use the "does not contain" and "is exactly" options on the Advanced Search page.)
• If you can't find your message with a basic search, try the Advanced Search feature. Advanced Search provides more options, such as searching by date and searching within the message text. To navigate to the Advanced Search page, just leave the search field blank and click the "Search Mail" button.
