To find a gmail email on a particular date you can just enter the date in the search field in YYYY/MM/DD format.  So let’s say you want to find all emails on March 19, 2009 you would enter in the search box:

2009/03/19

Screenshot:

You can also use the search terms “before” and “after” combined with a date to find all emails before or after a date:

after:2009/03/19

or

before:2009/03/19

You can even combine those into 1 search term to find all emails between a date range:

This search would return a result of all emails between February 2, 2009 and February 28, 2009.

Pretty neat huh?
