searching email

Post by dasadler »

I know that in Outlook I can do a filtered search for email by entering terms like FROM: or CONTENT: or SUBJECT: in the search box but is there any term to use if you were searching for an email with an attachment? For example, if I were looking for an email from Jose with a subject of meeting and it had an attachment...

I could enter from:jose subject:meeting and that would return all emails from Jose with meeting in the subject. However, I would like to return only those from Jose with meeting in the subject AND that had an attachment. Anyone know how to filter for an attachment?

Outlook 2010 also has "Has Attachments" in the "Filter E-mail" dropdown in the Find group of the Home tab of the ribbon:

Thanks a lot. Office 2010 looks pretty good although I still have yet to exploit all the features of Office 2007.
