How to filter mail with size in gmail
You can filter emails by size in Gmail using the following steps:
Method 1: Using the Gmail search bar
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the search bar at the top of the page.
- Type the following search query:
size:largerthan[SIZE]
(replace[SIZE]
with the desired size in bytes, e.g.,1024
for 1KB,1048576
for 1MB, etc.). - Press Enter to execute the search.
For example, to find emails larger than 1MB, you would type: size:largerthan1048576
Method 2: Using Gmail filters
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon () in the upper right corner of the page.
- Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
- In the "From" field, enter
size:largerthan[SIZE]
(replace[SIZE]
with the desired size in bytes, e.g.,1024
for 1KB,1048576
for 1MB, etc.). - Click on the "Create filter" button.
- Choose the action you want to take with the filtered emails (e.g., "Apply the label", "Delete it", etc.).
For example, to create a filter that labels emails larger than 1MB, you would enter: size:largerthan1048576
and select "Apply the label" and choose a label name.
Tips:
- You can also use the
size:smallerthan[SIZE]
search query to find emails smaller than a certain size. - If you want to filter emails by size and also by other criteria (e.g., sender, subject, etc.), you can combine multiple search queries using the
AND
operator. For example:size:largerthan1048576 AND from:[email protected]
- Keep in mind that Gmail has a file size limit of 25MB for attachments, so you may not be able to find emails larger than this size using the
size
search query.
