While creating a filter to forward emails from one gmail account to my personal account I noticed the Google team added a "Test Filter" form. In my case, I wanted to send everything to myself so I knew when emails came in I needed to be alerted of. Honestly, I want to see it all and decide what's important and what's not on the fly. In the From field I tried the wildcard * and tested it. As expected, all results were returned. What was interesting, however, was the search box in the top of the web client. It show this:
from:(*). In the past I had tried various from: searches in the search box, but, not wildcarding. Now, If I was to display specific emails I will combine operators. Other operators include:
- after date:
- All Mail: label
- AND
- before date:
- Chats - label
- Drafts
- filename: - operator
- has:
- has calendar event:
- has documents:
- has photos:
- has videos:
- is:
- in:
- label:
- list:
- OR
- Priority Inbox - label
- Receipts - label
- Sent Mail: label
- Spam
- Starred
- Subject:
- Trash
- Travel
- Work
You can determine if something is a label by typing the first letter in and seeing if a word (and the phrase "label") appear in the text box. For instance, if you type "la", Javascript will automatically prefill
label: - operator.
