# Searching Messages Using Exchange Mailbox

Applies to: All Mailboxes

You can search archived messages.

You can search through archived mailboxes for messages based on their metadata, such as mailbox name, Subject, From, To, received time, and so on. Data that is excluded by filtering does not appear in the search results.

For information about the search filters, see Search Filters.

Important

- You cannot extract attachments from digitally signed emails, as the MAPI does not support it. You can download the MSG file to preview the attachment.

- Previewing, downloading, opening attachments, or replying to encrypted emails is not possible without access to the encryption key.
