Search Tips:

• For an exact match of a string of words, place your text in quotes, e.g., “Sam”.
• Try thinking of a unique word or phrase in the email you are looking for to narrow your search results.
• Punctuation is ignored in the search text.
• When searching for numbers, the string of numbers must be at least five digits long.
• Once you have your search results use the filters in the top right-hand corner e.g., Date, From, Size etc. to locate the email you are looking for.
