- If you get tired of typing in the Gmail search terms there are shortcuts for some of them.
- Here is the list
^f sent mail
^i inbox
^k trash
^r draft
^s spam
^t starred messages
^u unread mail
^b chats
- So instead of typing label:unread from:bob you can type:
- l:^u from:bob
- Instead of typing label:chat from:andrew you can type:
- l:^b from:andrew
- Instead of typing label:starred label:trash subject:report you can type:
- l:^t l:^k subject:report
- To speed up the process further you can make macros to insert most used searches.
