Yes, that's exactly where I pasted it. I get... well I got bored of paging through, but many many hundreds, dating back many many years.



Screenshot below if the mailing list will cope with it (Ccing you directly in case it doesn’t).

If you really don’t have any older results, do you have any rules set up to auto-delete older content? Eg if you’re also receiving your Gmail messages through an email client like Outlook, or forwarding them to another email address, you might have configured Gmail to delete its copies after doing so.)

Your query works for me. It's just that Gmail only shows 50 items per page and displays the most recent items first, so you need to page through for the older results. (Where it says "1-50 of many" near the top right.)
