Where can I find the list of my attachments?

Quickly search attachments/messages by person in Outlook 2013

• I guess it's time to finally give up Xobni... I just updated to Outlook 2013, and have discovered that my beloved Xobni really doesn't work too well with the new version. I'm looking for some sort of add in that would let me quickly search by a person's name and then look at all the attachments or messages they've sent me or that I've sent them. The people pane has the gist of what I want, but it doesn't allow me to type in a person's name and search through it-- I have to have a message from that person highlighted. For example, let's say I want to find messages from John Smith, [email protected]. With Xobni, I can type "John" to get a list of all Johns that I've emailed with (not just those in my contacts). I can also search by "Smith" or "jsmi" to get results. With the people pane, I need to be on a message from John Smith to see the metrics, and then it only gives me attachments they've sent to me. My goal here is productivity-- I really don't care about the metrics aspect of it. I'd like to keep the costs under $100 a year, and please let me know if this is already in Outlook-- I'm still working through the learning curve! Any general tips/tricks would be appreciated as well!

• Answer:

  I use 2010, but to find all messages, I go to the search tab, pick All Mail Items and type: "From: John" or "To: John". I have to click in the search bar (at the top of current folder in Preview Pane mode) to get the tab to show up.
