MAIL AND ADDRESS BOOK

Finding a mail message
You can look for a message by searching through all messages from the author, or searching for words in the message, either in the title or in the complete text.

For more information about advanced searches, see Searching a database for documents that contain specified text.

To search by author

1. In the navigation pane, click Views and then "All Documents."

2. Click the Who column above the list of names to sort messages alphabetically by author.

3. Start typing the name of the author to open the "Starts with..." dialog box. You can enter some or all of the author's name.

4. Click OK. Notes selects the first message sent to you by the author.
