How to view literally all emails in Apple Mail
How to see ALL mail in Apple mail (not just those in All Inboxes).
I wanted to see all of my emails in Apple mail so that i could do some cleanup. I found posts that said to turn on Categories and then reveal the All Mail category button, but that would only display all the emails in All Inboxes, not literally All Mail. This is how I was able to see literally all my emails. FYI - I am running Tahoe with Mail version 16.
- Click into the the search and search for anything.
- This will reveal the All Mailboxes in the upper left corner.
- Click on All Mailboxes.
- Now right click on All Mailboxes and the dialog will include Add to Favorites
- Clear the search. You should now have a favorite of All Mailboxes.
- Click on your new All Mailboxes favorite and all the emails in all mailboxes will be displayed.
Now you can list them all be date, by size, by from, by mailbox, or by whatever column you add to your view.
