    Email log search results

    Note: If the search return more than 10,000 results, an alert appears. Some messages may display the message ID only, with N/A in the other fields. To view details for one of these messages, click the message ID in the list. This makes it appear in the Message ID search field, and you can then run a search on just this message.

  8. Perform any of the following tasks on the search results list:
    • Click the arrows in the upper-right corner to navigate through the pages of the list.
    • Click a subject (or message ID) to see the message’s details. See Viewing message details with email log search for a description of the information shown.
    • To export or download your search results, click Download-export icon in the upper-right corner of the screen, and then click either Export to Google Sheets or Download as CSV file.

      The button appears only if the search results return exportable data. Selecting either of these options initiates a new query, so it may take some time before the file is ready to open. If you download the search results, you can view them in a spreadsheet editor of your choice.
