For archival purposes, I am storing a list of emails. I would like to be able to later find a particular message in my Gmail account. A unique message identifier is its Message-ID.However Gmail does not allow searching for it (returns an empty result). I don't really understand why, since the ID is in the message text. So, is there a way to retrieve a message by its Message-ID in Gmail?
How can I find a message by Message-ID in Gmail?
email;gmail
This is now possible.Announced in a recent blog post, you can now use a bunch of new search operators, including RFC 822 message ID.From Gmail Help - Using advanced searchrfc822msgid: Find a message by the message-id headerExample: rfc822msgid:20050329231145.62086.mail@mail.emailprovider.comMeaning: Locates the exact message with the specified SMTP message-id.
