How do you search all iCloud email folders at once?

Hello,


I've just started using iCloud mail. For a variety of reasons, I have to access my emails from Firefox on my mac. I use the icloud.com site, however there is no obvious way to search through all of my folders.


For example:


I want to find an email from Andy which he sent me a few years ago.

I don't know which folder it's in, so I want to quickly search through all of them.


Is there any way to do this?


Thanks,


Oliver

You have to manually click on the folder , type the name of person in spotlight search , click on From the circle rotates the mail will be displayed ,

You can't search all folders in the spotlight simultaneously and its mails ( note : it depends upon the iCloud.com services the mails are not saved from back years ) .
