Why GMail doesn't have filter for unreplied mails?

8 pointsby emirb13 lat temu7 comments

This issue has been around for few years. Lots of GMail users complained about inability to filter only mails they received but never replied (simply, unreplied). This feature could help boost productivity a lot and remove mail problems. If you +1 this, please comment.

Thanks!

They do: it's your inbox. Once you reply, you archive the e-mail.

The problem is I never archive the e-mail and I'm looking for simple is:unreplied.

So what would happen with all the e-mail you get that doesn't require a reply?

(This is where the strength of Archive comes in)

You can create a filter that marks any mail containing "Re:" with a specific label (lets say Reply), and the search for -{label:Reply}

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

Can't you just do a quick search with "label:unread" in the search box? That's what I have been using to filter unread message. Not as convenient as a dedicated button, but still does the job !

I wonder if there might an operator for number of messages in a 'conversation'.
