\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Using POP to Read Emails on Outlook<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\nSimilar to IMAP, in POP, too, you have the option to choose whether your actions in Microsoft Outlook will impact your email messages in Gmail.

- Check the settings to ensure that you have enabled POP.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

- Tap the ‘Save Changes<\/strong>‘ button present at the page’s bottom.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>5. Use Gmail’s Advanced Search Capabilities<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\nAnother way to recover missing messages in Gmail is to leverage the advanced search capabilities of Gmail. If a simple search does not yield you the desired result, define criteria to narrow it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Tap the dropdown arrow of ‘Show search options<\/strong> in the search field.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Here you can look for the sender’s email ID via the ‘From<\/strong>‘ field.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Using the ‘To<\/strong>‘ field, you can look for the recipient’s name.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Look for email subjects using the ‘Subject<\/strong>‘ field.<\/span><\/li>\n
- You can look for body text through the ‘Has the words<\/strong>‘ field.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Look for ‘Has attachment<\/strong>‘ to locate messages with attached files.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Use the ‘Date within<\/strong>‘ fields to define a sent date.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
