Gmail – Searching for messages in Gmail sent by theself to theself

gmailgmail-search

When sending email in Gmail, the last message in the mail is sometimes sent by me. I hit the reply button, meaning to send the email to everyone else, but the email ends up being addressed only to myself.

What happens next is that I end up wondering for several days why no-one has replied before checking the mail and discovering the mistake that I made.

Is there any way to filter mail in Gmail sent from myself to myself? I use my Gmail as a client to send mail from multiple accounts.

The current search I'm attempting is as such, but it's not working as I would like it to.

(From: johndoe@gmail.com OR johndoe@outlook.com -*) AND (To: johndoe@gmail.com OR johndoe@outlook.com -*)

Even though the two halves (From:...) and (To:...) are enclosed in parenthesis, I think you will get more accurate results if you prefix both addresses in each half with the From: or To: accordingly(see below). As it is now, I think it is searching for the second email address of each half anywhere in any message.

Example:

(From: johndoe@gmail.com OR From: johndoe@outlook.com) AND (To: johndoe@gmail.com OR To: johndoe@outlook.com)
