Q&A for How to Find Archived Mail on Gmail

Select the item, then select a different place to send it. Or, click the "delete archive" button.

Yes. Labels are pretty much like sticky notes, you can add a ton of them to one email but if you throw it out, the sticky notes go with it.

Click on "Drafts" on the left side under Sent Mail. This brings up all mail you haven't sent out. Just click on the draft you want to work on & it will bring it up where you left off.

On Gmail, in a received mail you can find a button with a box that has a down arrow on it in the toolbar underneath the search bar. Click it to archive the mail.

Yes, first find the email, and then use the same button you used to archive it to unarchive it.

Yes, if you didn't do it in the last 30 days. After 30 days though, Gmail automatically deletes it.

Go to Trash then tap the email. Then tap move to or labels and go to the place that you moved it to. Then tap on it and you're done!

If it was not deleted, it will still be where it should be, even in archive where you can simply search for it. If you are on a mobile it might only be showing you the last year (or less!) check the sync age in settings, or check on a computer. If it was recently deleted (within the last 30 days) regardless of when it was received. it will be in the bin and can be restored. However, if it was deleted (put in the bin) over 30 days ago, it is gone. The only exception would be if you have a company Google licence of enterprise grade or higher (that must if been in place since the message was deleted), in which case, ask your system Administrator to restore it from the vault.
