Go to Mail Settings Go to Inbox tab In the Importance markers category, select No markers In the Inbox sections category, at Important, click on Options From the dropmenu select Remove section This way, you don't have the markers anymore and you get rid of the category as well. Also, you might want to set your Inbox type to Classic.

I can think of two options available, neither of which are elegant: Add a -to:my-team@example.com to all the other filters that may archive the message. Use a variation of the above but instead of hard-coding the address, add a descriptive label. There's no option to send an email to the inbox via a filter. Your only option is to prevent the message from ...

You can apply labels to drafts, and they seem to stick after the message is sent. To do this, you have to start the message using the "Compose mail" link (or 'c' shortcut), save it as a draft, then open it via the "Drafts" section. It's an extra step, but since I often write messages and come back to them later to polish and send it works for me.

I recently found a workaround that is good enough for me: After sending an email Googlemail shows a message like "Your message has been send. View message". If you are quick enough to click at "View message" you see your just sent message again and then can use the "L" key to label it quickly. At least this is one click less than and much faster loading ...

You can search for emails that belong to a specific label using the label:mylabel <include search terms here> syntax, and you can exclude messages from a specific label using the -label:mylabel <include search terms here> syntax. So what you want can be accomplished using a combination of these both. You have to compose a search ...

These are Gmail smart labels, Gmail automatically categorises emails and assigns them these labels where appropriate. The definitions of Bulk & Notifications are: Bulk mail includes any kind of mass mailing (such as newsletters and promotional email) and gets filtered out of your inbox by default (where you can easily read it later) ...

As of November 2012 this is now possible with a simple search has:nouserlabels "Finds all messages without any of your own labels (excludes automatic labels like inbox, spam, and trash). Since Gmail applies labels to individual messages, you might see results that appear to have labels; in this case, another message in the same conversation thread has had ...

Make sure you haven't told Gmail to automatically add a label on POP3 import: To check go to: Settings Accounts and Import Check mail from other accounts (using POP3) Edit Make sure the "Label incoming messages" checkbox is unchecked.

The short answer is: you can't. Or at least not with the way things currently work with Gmail. As you've probably noticed, your only options are filtering by a tag or using the archive to hide things. A glance at the advanced search tools show what you are after isn't really accommodated. Your question is in a similar vein to those asking how to find ...

Unfortunately you cannot. I don't think it is similar to StackExchange tags as these are used to describe to users not familiar to the tag, what it is about. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question. With gmail labels, normally there should be one user per account, thus that user should know the reasoning behind ...

This is the best way I have found to make an automatic forwarded and replied to messages indicator / marker in Gmail - based on a filter (conversation view must be enabled): Go to Settings -> Labels and create two new labels: Replied and Forwarded. You can also shorten their names to RPL and FWD. It doesn't matter what you label them, just as long as it ...

I have about 70 labels in my Gmail. I am not aware of the limit ot the number of labels you can have... I use nested labels and label colouring - no problems. I have not noticed any other performance issues or conflicts with other features/software. UI concerns... Yes, the list on the left is very long. However, I hardly even find that a problem. The ...

You can create filters in gmail using the 'settings' option. There you can specify various things such as. Sender's address, recipient address, subject line. etc. You can then add a label to these emails and this will show up in the left hand side of your inbox. Also, if you want to filter by recipient address, you can reformat your email address. For ...

I know that it is not exactly the answer you are looking for but, did you ever consider using Labs feature Quick Links. I know that it is not a keyboard shortcut, but with one click, you could achieve what you want to do. When you have this Labs enabled, simply search label:your-label is:^u in the normal search field and then, on the sidebar region of the ...

Once you have created the contact group, you can add multiple email addresses or contacts at one time. To add email addresses, select the group on the left (which lists current members. Then click the Add to "groupname" button which will open a text box. Type in or paste in the addresses, separated by commas, and then click Add. To add existing ...

Impossible via the Web UI, and difficult with IMAP (coding). Label are considered like folder on the first level of the IMAP (blured on the picture). Messages can have several labels, some don't have any. Sorting Email per label would required to browse the "All Mail" to create a list of all the emails, browse every single label folder to obtain the ...

A simple filter for to:(@mydomain.com) should do what you need. Simply create a filter on that and apply the label you want. You'll also have the option to "Also apply filter to XXX matching conversations" so you can label any of the messages you've already received.

A way to quickly add labels to your messages in Gmail without having to install anything is through keyboard shortcuts. When one or more messages are selected in your Inbox, you can press the L key, which will automatically open up your list of labels. If you type the first few letters of the label you want and then press Enter or Return (whichever it's ...

I don't think Google supports this feature, but I found a workaround from 2008 that might still work: Create the group in My Contacts Compose an email to said group Copy the "To:" field Paste into the "Convert" textbox here Copy the the "Convert" output into a new filter Try it and let us know if it does what you're looking for.

Apart from "+ addressing", as suggested by NTulip you should make a filter with the "deliveredto:" operator, instead of "to:". That way you also catch BCC'd mails, mailing lists, etc. See http://quietmint.com/2008/label-all-forwarded-messages-in-gmail for a clear explanation

Best way I've found to do this is to: Compose mails in a new window (shortcut is "C" (Shift + c) or you can just click the icon in the top right). In the original window, go to your drafts folder and label the message as you wish. Continue composing your message and send it - the label will remain. Update May 2012: I just noticed that you can now do ...

This is the procedure for creating a filter. open a message that you want to filter and label. Click on the "More" pull-down button. Select "Filter Messages like these. It will then open up the create filter wizard with the From filled in In the background you should be able to see all the conversations that will be flagged by this filter. Modify the value ...

Try not to treat Labels as Folders. Messages in your Sent folder are just those your archive that you sent yourself (they don't need to have label whatsoever). When you add a label to them, they will appear in that label, and of course they will stay appearing in Sent because you sent them. (I testes it myself, outgoing mail with a label are showed when you ...

This is a bit hackish, but I've found it works relatively well: Let's say you want to label some outgoing messages as "Family." First set up a filter, all messages sent to youremail+family@gmail.com get labeled "Family." I'd also recommend having these emails "skip the inbox" - you might also want them to be marked as read. Then, bcc ...

Even though your mail client doesn't support labels, Gmail's IMAP feature compensates for this and allows the folders in your mail client to act as labels. This means that some messages will appear in both folders, but will still be the same message (e.g. if you delete one, the other one will be deleted as well). what [...] if I move a message from one ...

On your end: Gmail does not support filtering or automatic actions on messages you send. You must label the conversation manually after you send the email. On the other end: You want to "activate the label on the receiving side of the email"? You want control over someone else's mailbox? I don't think so.

It seems the problem is in the language versions: Tried vanilla GMail account (w/ keyboard shortcuts turned on) with all the same Labs enabled → not working Disabled all other Labs but "go to label" → not working Switched language to "English (US)" → works I tested some other languages as well. Both English US & UK seem to be the only ...

GrexIt also allows you to archive the discussions in a shared area and provides easy way to search through them. So along with ...

Two huge "secrets" to designing any truly powerful Google search are parenthesis () and curly brackets {}. Anything that is wrapped in parenthesis will do the same thing as searching with the terms using the AND operator. For example (pie cherry) will search for results that contain BOTH pie AND cherry. On the other side of things using curly brackets ...

Some suggestions that might help: Unread mail folders still appear in BOLD (Edit: if you keep them collapsed), so you should see Trips as opposed to Trips (even though there won't be a message count). In Gmail Label Settings you can choose to show them in the left menu if they contain unread messages. You could set the option to show if unread (so the ...
