I'd like to do a search in my Gmail to find out the mails that I sent without reply.

I tried this, but it doesn't work:

label:sent -has:reply

it seems that the 'has' operator only accept :attachment

Is there a way to search the un-replied mails?

I don't know of a direct way to do this, but you can create a filter that marks any mail containing "Re:" with a specific label (lets say RE), and the search for -{label:RE}

alternatively, skip the labeling part and search for -{"re:"}

Thanks Ophir, but if people use web gmail to reply a mail, the subject won't contain the RE or something like this. – Johnny Mar 14 '11 at 7:17
@Johnny Just tested it - it does ad a 'Re' - click the 'show details' link and it will show you the mail header. – Ophir Yoktan Mar 14 '11 at 7:34
@Ophir I see, yes the subject has the 'Re'. There is another problem, the gmail server seems to ignore the ':', which means, when I search for "Re:", it will show mails that contains "re". That would be a lot of non-reply mails. – Johnny Mar 14 '11 at 10:29
use quotes. and you can skip the tagging - just search -{"re:"} – Ophir Yoktan Mar 14 '11 at 10:43
@Ophir @Johnny I think the correct one will be -subject:"re:" to search only in the subjects of the e-mails. It still ignores the colon, so you might endup filtering out something that you don't want to. – Lipis Mar 14 '11 at 11:44

Based on Ophir's answer (I'm not sure if it's possible to merge answers - I'm sure someone will pop along if neccessarily).

Filter for '-subject:"re:"' as mentioned - I labeled all such messages reply. (has to be a filter because you want to label the thread not the reply.

The search string I then had to use was"

-label:reply (from:myemail OR from:myotheremail) -( variouskeywordsthatspecifyselfmasils OR ect) -(to:myemail OR to:myemail)

Also - I'm afraid I'm not quite answering the OP - this will find all single emails that didn't get a reply. If someone emailed me, and I emailed back, and then there was no reply - that won't be found...

In the search bar, enter from:me to see al converstions that has messages sent by you. You can create a filter from this search and label it, for instance, REPLIED.
