Today, Mytour will guide you on how to access archived emails in Gmail. Gmail allows users to store old emails, keeping the inbox organized. Although these emails are hidden, they remain accessible for future reference whenever needed.
Steps
On Mobile
Open Gmail. The app features a red "M" on a white envelope background.
- If you're not logged in, enter your Google email address and password, then tap Sign in.
Tap the ☰ icon in the top-left corner of the screen. A menu will pop up.
Select the All Mail option near the bottom of the screen.
Locate the archived email. The All Mail folder contains all emails in your inbox as well as those you've archived.
- Emails without the "Inbox" label on the right side of the subject line are archived.
- You can also tap the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner, enter the sender's name, subject, or a keyword to narrow your search.
On Desktop
Visit the Gmail homepage at https://www.mail.google.com/. If you're already logged in, your inbox will appear.
- If you're not logged in, click SIGN IN at the top-right corner of the page and enter your email address and password.
Select the mailbox dropdown. This is the column on the left side of the page with Inbox at the top. Once selected, the list will expand, revealing additional options.
Click on More (Expanded List) near the bottom of the dropdown menu.
Click on All Mail near the bottom of the More menu. You will be directed to the All Mail folder.
Locate the archived email. The All Mail folder contains all emails in your inbox as well as those you've archived.
- Emails without the "Inbox" label on the right side of the subject line are archived.
- If you know the sender, subject, or a specific keyword in the archived email, you can enter this information into the search bar at the top of the Gmail page.
Tips
