How to Find All Unread Messages/Mails in Gmail

Find All Unread Messages in Gmail

To view all (and only) unread messages in your Gmail account:

1. Firstly: Type "is:unread" (not including the quotation marks) in the Gmail search field.
2. Secondly: Click Search Mail.
3. If you do this search repeatedly or generally appreciate brevity, you can use "l:unread" or even "l:^u" instead of "is:unread" (or "label:unread").

For advanced features:
If we want to find unread mails from a specific entity: say Ravi ,  you can combine the quest for unread messages with others:

• "l:^u from:Ravi" finds all unread messages from "Ravi",
• "l:^u l:^t" finds all unread starred mail
• "l:^u l:^k subject:Hello" finds all unread messages with "Hello" in the subject that are in the Trash.
