I want to find the first message that a specific person sent me, but I don't know when that was – except that it was ages ago. I know I can use the search operator from:janedoe but the result is listed in reverse chronological order and the page indicator says 1-20 of hundreds.
Do I have to click "next page" fifty times, or is there another way to find out?

If you click "1-20 of [...]" you will see options to jump to the Newest or Oldest. The Oldest option isn't available if Gmail is still calculating the results so you may need to wait until the query finishes processing. Wait some time and hit the Older button to update the menu.
