A label for unread emails in Gmail
In: Neat Stuff
30 Jul 2004This is a pretty nifty Gmail trick (via TIMELINE via gmailwiki): create a label named “Unread” and Gmail automatically lists all unread email when you call up that label.
Seems very much like a half-hearted, half-implemented feature that Google hasn’t decided whether to give to users. I for one would very much like to have a standard section for unread mail (“standard” meaning it goes into the same place as Starred, All Mail and co.).

List unread mail in your Gmail
Gmail Wiki has a great tip for listing unread mail in you Gmail. Just create a label called Unread, and the rest will take care of itself….

You can also create a “Read” label, which contains all read conversations.

Oh, my god, this post is in english, how am i gonna say what I have to say ? Well, hum, I’ve been censored by paumouse, http://www.paume.net, he’s an asshole (and he had two assholes, funny, isn’t it), so you can find my new blog on http://blog.matoo.net, I’m in the comments. Love. Fluffy.
French messagouse to pass :
Ouh la la, j’ai été censuré par legroscondepaumé.net, c’est intolérable, à l’aide !!! Vite, une pétition, un zap, quelque chose, je sais pas, moi !!! En attendant, vous pouvez lire mes confidences top-secrètes sur le blog de matoo, http://blog.matoo.net/
Voilà, c’est tout ce que j’avais à dire. Vive la République, vive la France !

I wouldn’t say it is half hearted. They actually implemented the label system so that when it caught you creating such a label, it used a filter for you without cluttering the filter list. “Sweet!” I say.

cool tip! However I still prefer to type ‘is:unread’ in the search bar.
It’d also be great if the search bar could keep in memory the search queries: i always use the same 3 or 4 ones and it’s tedious to type them every time (another nice solution would be to save these queries as labels).

Seems Google has put a stop on this trick. If you try to create a label named “Unread” it gives a notification saying that system names are not allowed.
You can, however, still find all unread messages by running a search with “label:unread”. It just won’t allow you the ease of access of having it right in your label list.
If someone knows a work-around, please post.

Create a filter and then filter on ‘Has words in’ on is:unread and label it for example _unread (since ‘unread’ in ANY language that Google settings can be set to is invalid). There’ll be a warning that ‘is:’ won’t give any results, but that’s a lie-to-children.
This way all new mail gets the label _unread in the inbox, but top it off with a nice color (or not).
