gmail filter to read only unread messages
One of the nice features of GMail is the advanced search. These are basically a set of commands or operators that perform special actions. The problem is I tend to forget about them so this post is more for my purpose than anyone else's.
So after going through the docs I got this to find all my unread messages in my inbox via the following in the search box
1label:inbox is:unread
Find all of them at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=7190

Very nice! I had no idea you could do this. The is:chat directive just helped me find an old code snippet I was looking for. Priceless.
You can also create bookmarks that have search queries already in them containing these advanced searches. I like to see a view will all my unread email except for certain labels:
http://mail.google.com/mail/?search=query&q=is...
i.e., is:unread -label:whatever
This shows all unread email except that labeled "whatever".
http://mail.google.com/mail/?search=query&q=is...
i.e., is:unread -label:whatever
This shows all unread email except that labeled "whatever".
