Master These Key Operators:

from: accounts@amazon.com). -
to: Locate emails you sent to someone (e.g.,
to: Sarah Jones). -
subject: Search for emails with a particular subject line (e.g.,
subject: Meeting Reminder). -
date: Find emails received on a specific date or within a date range (e.g.,
date:2024-09-15).
Simple Search Made Easy:
Just type your search term directly into the Mail search bar (Command-Option-F). Mail will automatically suggest matches based on sender, recipient, date, subject, or message header. Click the relevant option to refine your search.
Bonus Tip: Refine Your Contacts Search
Want to see emails only from a specific contact group? Use the arrow next to the “People” token to explore options like “From Groups” or “CC.”

For example, from: John Doe AND subject: Meeting will find emails sent by John Doe with the subject line “Meeting.”
