Did you ever want to search for certain terms (like “invoices” or “sales project”) in the “Entire Message”, only in emails from your contractor Sarah Smith, across all folders and mailboxes? Here’s a great tip on how to do that very quickly.

Smart Mailbox conditions
Once created, highlight that Smart Mailbox in your mailbox list on the left in Mail to view its contents.
Note that all messages are just displayed (referenced) here, they do not actually move here.
Once its contents are displayed, type “invoices” in the search box in the top right, and choose “From Sarah Smith” and “Entire Message” in the grey bar that appears:
The results will show only emails with the term “invoices” in emails from Sarah, across all mailboxes. If you type different search terms in the top right, it will still only search in emails from Sarah Smith.
You can also filter further by adding additional items in the Smart Mailbox filters.
We hope this saves you time in your email filtering!
