in the search bar and press Enter. - This will show you all the archived emails in your Gmail account.
Method 2: Using the Gmail Labels

- 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
is:archived
and click on the "Create" button. - This will create a filter that shows you all the archived emails in your Gmail account.
Method 4: Using the Gmail API
If you're comfortable with coding, you can use the Gmail API to retrieve archived emails. You'll need to:
- Enable the Gmail API in the Google Cloud Console.
- Create a project and enable the Gmail API.
- Create credentials for your project (OAuth client ID).
- Use the Gmail API to retrieve archived emails using the
users.messages.list
method.
Here's an example of how you can use the Gmail API to retrieve archived emails using Python:
import google.auth
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
# Set up authentication
creds, project = google.auth.default(scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly'])
# Create the Gmail API client
service = build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=creds)
# Retrieve archived emails
response = service.users().messages().list(userId='me', labelIds=['ARCHIVED']).execute()
# Print the archived emails
for message in response.get('messages', []):
print(message['id'])
Note that this method requires you to have the necessary permissions and credentials set up, and it may require some programming knowledge.
I hope these methods help you retrieve your archived emails in Gmail!
