How to find mails came before 2013

There are a few ways to find emails that came before 2013, depending on your email provider and the specific features they offer. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Search your email provider's search function

Most email providers, such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and others, have a built-in search function that allows you to search for emails by date range. Here's how to do it:

• Log in to your email account.
• Click on the search icon (usually a magnifying glass) or press Ctrl + E (Windows) or Command + E (Mac).
• In the search bar, type before:2013 (without quotes) and press Enter.
• This should show you all emails that were sent or received before 2013.

Method 2: Use Gmail's "Show old messages" feature

If you're using Gmail, you can use the "Show old messages" feature to retrieve older emails. Here's how:

• Log in to your Gmail account.
• Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
• Click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
• Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
• In the "From" field, enter before:2013 (without quotes).
• Click on the "Create" button.
• Gmail will retrieve all emails that were sent or received before 2013 and display them in your inbox.

Method 3: Use a third-party email client or add-on

There are several third-party email clients and add-ons that can help you retrieve older emails. For example:

• Sanebox: A third-party email client that can help you retrieve older emails and also helps you manage your inbox.
• Boomerang: A browser extension that allows you to search for emails by date range and also helps you manage your inbox.
• Emailchemy: A software that can help you retrieve older emails from various email providers.

Method 4: Contact your email provider's support

If none of the above methods work, you can contact your email provider's support team and ask them if they have any archives or backup systems that can help you retrieve older emails. They may be able to provide you with a way to access older emails or help you recover them.

Remember that email providers may have limitations on how far back they store emails, so it's possible that older emails may not be available.
