Useful GMail Hacks, Tips and Tricks

I recently found out about some cool GMail search keywords you can use to filter through your emails. I was always frustrated that I couldn't select all the unread emails I have within all my filters. Sure, I could click on All Mail and do it that way, but that it's very difficult to sort through emails that way. I found out about the is: command. Very handy and you can pass it all kinds of modifiers. Try this one out. is:unread

There's many more that I don't know about. Perhaps the GMail help section has a listing of all the possible commands and modifiers, but I don't like going through help pages. They should just have a little popup (not window, but a div/container) with all or the most common/useful commands.

Ok, so for the sake of my readers and because now I'm just curious, I went to the GMail help pages and found these other useful search filters.

Now if only GMail would add a delete or send to trash button! I hate using the drop down to delete emails I don't want.

  • I agree. "Trashing" an email via the drop down is annoying. If anything deserves a big honkin button, it's "Trash". Buttons are used to trigger actions, and I can't think of more deserving action.
