Now one of the challenges of having several email addresses within the same Outlook profile is that you might forget which folder you've stored some of your emails in. Luckily, we have a search function to help us. Now, if I click on here, oh yes, there's a shortcut by the way, control and E if you want to search. But if I click on here now before I start searching for anything, you'll notice the ribbon changes. We've actually got a search ribbon with all the different menus in here. And within the ribbon, what we're able to do is specify where to look and what to look for primarily. So we can look in all mailboxes if we want to or we can go to current mailbox or current folder. We can search by who the sender was, what the subject was, whether it had attachments or not. The different categories, the date that the email was received, all sorts of things. Okay, I'm gonna keep it really, really simple. I'm just going to search for the word Latin. Okay? 'Cause I know that I used that in an email that I demonstrated with a few days ago. And just press enter. So what we should end up with is all the instances of the word Latin that are in the emails appearing down here. So what we can do then is see where they're stored. So we've got undeliverable, that's helpful. We've got some in inboxes. We've got some that went into the important folder and there's some unsent items as well. 'Cause I've been doing demonstration emails, of course, that this is all over the place. But normally you're not, you're probably not gonna have that many hits. And all you need to do if you wanted to open one up, of course, is double click on it. And you can read the full email in full here without having to go and find it in the folder itself. So that's how you use the search function. Quite straightforward, but super useful.
