How to Find All Mail from a Sender Quickly in Outlook

By Heinz Tschabitscher, About.com

Do you know the situation when you think you remember something, but you do not really remember it? I often think I remember somebody wrote something, but I'm not sure.

Fortunately, Outlook has a better memory than I have, and even more fortunately, Outlook makes it particularly easy to find all mail from a certain sender quickly.

Find All Mail from a Sender Quickly in Outlook

To find all mail from a particular sender quickly in Outlook:

  • Highlight a message from the sender in any folder.
  • Select Tools | Instant Search | Messages from Sender... (or Tools | Find | Messages from Sender... in Outlook 2003) from the menu.

Outlook will immediately show you all mail from the same sender.
