Select Search.

After you submit your search request, the list of messages that match your criteria will come up below the search form.

You can then choose the message you wish to view and read it just like a normal message.

Where to search
To the left of the text box, you see a drop-down list of fields that are possible to search through.

You can search: Body, Everywhere, Subject, From, Cc, To.

Body - Searches through the body of the message. This is the main part of the message where the important stuff is located.

Everywhere - This searches everything, including the entire header for the message. Unless
you are sure this is what you want, it probably isn°t. It can take a long time and it may return
results that you wouldn°t normally expect.

Subject - Searches through the subjects for all the messages.

From ¬ Searches the addresses and names of those who sent you messages.

To - Who a message was sent to.

Cc - Same as To, except who a message was copied to.

Searching active folders
Notice that when you are reading messages and then go into the search section, your currently active folder will be the default to search through. For example, if you were browsing through your Family folder and then click on Search, your Family folder will already be selected for searching.
