Microsoft Outlook email filter does not have Time criteria

Question

Microsoft Outlook email filter does not have Time criteria

Nilesh Lokhande 1

A user can not filter outlook emails for a specific duration with Time based criteria.
Eg If one wants to filter e-mails during Non-Business Hours or between specific time duration for a day / week / Month / Year etc.

Hi @Nilesh Lokhande

What's the user's outlook version? Which method did the user use to search the emails in a date range? Or do you mean the results not returned?

Could you please share any screenshot about this issue?

You could try using below methods to see if any help:

To filter for a particular week or month, type “received: last week” or “received: February.” This will retrieve emails from the week or month you specified. In a slow to moderately busy inbox, searching a range like this is fast and efficient. However, a very busy inbox may require more specific parameters.
To search a specific range of dates, use your desired start and finish date range. For example, type “received:>=02/23/2018 AND received:<=02/25/2018.” This sequence will retrieve all email received during the time period you specified.

OR Using Natural Language search, for example:

As of today (2024) with Outlook 365 on W11, it’s interesting to check that this filter is working:

(A) this one in the local language shows today’s emails received within that specific local time:

recibido:>10:00 recibido:<12:00

(B) surprisingly this other one in English shows any day emails received within that specific GMT time:

received:>10:00 received:<12:00

I leave to other international forum members to assess how, why, what happens in their case.
