Apple mail search for attachment name
To search for an attachment name in Apple Mail, you can follow these steps:
- Open Apple Mail and go to the mailbox or folder that contains the emails you want to search.
- Click on the "Mail" menu and select "Search" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + F).
- In the search field, type the name of the attachment you're looking for, followed by "attachment:" (without the quotes). For example: "attachment:report.pdf"
- Press Enter or click the "Search" button to start the search.
- Apple Mail will search for emails that contain an attachment with the specified name. The search results will display a list of emails that match your search criteria.
You can also use other search operators to refine your search. For example:
- "attachment:*.pdf" will search for emails that contain PDF attachments with any name.
- "attachment:report*" will search for emails that contain attachments with names that start with "report".
- "attachment:report.pdf -subject:meeting" will search for emails that contain a PDF attachment named "report.pdf" but do not have the subject "meeting".
Note that the search is case-insensitive, so you don't need to worry about capitalization. Also, the search only looks for exact matches, so if you're searching for a partial name, you may need to use the asterisk (*) wildcard character to match any characters.
