New search operators in gmail

    I never rested on the limit of free mail space in gmail, until I began to forward work mail to a personal account. I can assume that you have reached the 10GB limit even without working attachments and are desperately catching old letters with large and unnecessary attachments from any advertising mailings and announcements. 
    More cunning users used services specially tailored for this, someone shoveled letters manually, but now for this (and not only) new search operators have appeared ...

    New operators:

    - size : allows you to “search for messages larger than specified in bytes quantity". For example, the request [size: 512000]will produce messages with a size exceeding 500 KB (1 KB = 1024 bytes). Please note that MIME will add its 33% overhead, so do not be surprised if you receive messages with an attachment of 400 KB at the request of [size: 512000].

    - larger :, smaller : are similar to size :, but more friendly, because allow you to use the quantifiers K, M for kilobytes and megabytes (suggest that size also knows how to understand K and MB). 
    A couple of examples from the captain: [smaller: 1M] (messages not exceeding 1MB), [larger: 500K] (messages weighing more than 500KB). For talkative, larger_than : and smaller_than operators are provided .

    - older_than , newer_thanobviously filter messages by date. Indulging in memories will help older_than: 2y , slightly more recent news will be displayed by older_than: 5m , and very hot news will return newer_than: 1m and newer_than: 3d .

    - has: userlabels , has: nouserlabels everything is also very clear here - filtering by the presence of labels. In this case, system tags (incoming, spam, archive) will not be displayed.
