The problem that we use email for this endless use, is that many times it is a challenge to find what we are looking for among the hundreds of messages we have received. This can mean a waste of time in many cases and worst of all, that sometimes we do not even find what we were looking for.
If our email manager is Gmail, luckily it has a series of "Tricks" with which these searches will be much easier than before. Below we explain the different formulas that you should use depending on the information you have to find that particular email that you crave.

If we substitute from by to, we will obtain the same information but in this case the emails we have sent ourselves.
As we have seen, there are a large number of shortcuts in Gmail to find those messages that we are looking for simply and quickly. Gmail is one of the largest platforms for mail management and therefore offers many utilities to its users. Among its advantages we can find the access to Gmail without password from the computer or the possibility of searching for our lost Android through our account.
In addition, in the event that we forget our password or want to reset it, Gmail offers the user many facilities to do this. In addition, if we use the Chrome browser, we will have the possibility to access our messages without a connection, something quite useful if our connection is not always as stable as we would like.
If as an extra we want to have created contact groups in our account to send a message to all of them quickly for example, we will also be able to do it without wasting much time in these configurations. Gmail is undoubtedly a good email manager and offers us in a simple way many facilities to have our messages sorted and easy access to them. In addition to these functions, there are many more that you can find in our section of tutorials dedicated to the application. And if you know any more, do not hesitate to share it.
