The best way is to open this Contact card and you will see all related emails in History side panel
On email page you cat try to use Parent or Sent By filter

Hello.
To filter emails according to contacts you need to set up next filter options:
Filter by Parent → Is → Contact → Besharp.
To allow filter search find Besharp you need set up the field “Parent” in the email to “Contact” → “Besharp”.
In the Demo version of the EspoCRM, you can’t do this because Besharp doesn’t exist in the Contacts entity.
