Where is Gmail archive folder on Android?

When you archive an email in Gmail, the message is not deleted; it is only removed from your inbox. So, where are these emails stored, and how can you access them?

Where are archived emails in Gmail?

Gmail does not have a specific “Archive” folder. Archived emails can be found:

  • In the “All Mail” section,
  • By searching,
  • Or by using the “in:archive” command.

Methods to find archived emails in Gmail

Viewing from the “All Mail” section

  1. Open Gmail (web or mobile app).
  2. Click on “More” (or the “⋮” icon) in the left menu.
  3. Select the “All Mail” tab.
  4. All your emails (including archived ones) are listed here.
  5. Archived emails will not have the “Inbox” label next to them.

Using the search bar

  1. Click on the search box at the top of Gmail.
  2. Type in:archive and press Enter.
  3. Only archived emails will appear.

Note: Sometimes this search may also show unarchived emails. Check for emails without the “Inbox” label to find the correct one.

Searching by keyword or another criterion

You can easily access your archived messages using the search feature in Gmail. Here are the steps:

  1. Check the search results. You will see that archived emails do not have the “Inbox” label next to them.
  2. Open Gmail and click on the search bar at the top.
  3. Enter your search criteria (e.g., sender name, subject, keyword, or label).

With these methods, you can quickly find your old emails archived in Gmail.
