  2. In the search box, click the down arrow.
  3. Click the All Mail drop-down, then select Mail & Spam & Trash.
  4. Enter some information that’s in the missing email. If you're not sure about exact words or details, leave the fields blank.
  5. At the bottom of the box, click Search.

You can use words or symbols called search operators to refine your Gmail search results.
