redemption in a blog

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).

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….

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.

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

GMail trick: a Label for Unread Mails
This is a pretty nifty Gmail trick (from redemption in a blog via TIMELINE via gmailwiki): Create a label named “Unread” and Gmail automatically lists all unread email when you call up that label.

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).
