  4. This will show you all the emails that have been archived.

Method 3: Using the Gmail Filter

  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.

  6. In the "From" field, enter is:archived and click on the "Create" button.
  7. 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:

  1. Enable the Gmail API in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Create a project and enable the Gmail API.
  3. Create credentials for your project (OAuth client ID).
  4. 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!
