Gmail Search - sent messages with no response?

marnikcomp | Jun 10 2007

I am working on some workflow stuff.

So I use Gmail, has really improved my e-mail management/finding, etc. I process and handle about 400-500 e-mails per day.

Wanting to get to the next level.

I am trying to devise a gmail search that would show me e-mails that I
have sent that I have not gotten a response to?

eg. I send you a message, I never got a response - I would like to
have a search that shows all messages I have sent that have no
responses.... this could then be used to follow-up with that person... obviously the e-mails that I got a response have been actioned....

Any ideas?

‹ Unsure how to implement sharing item at random date How to keep e-mail and enclosed files together when saving to hard disk? ›

I did a cursory investigation...

I did a cursory investigation into the searching capabilities of Gmail. It doesn't look like this is possible unless there's a way to search by the length of conversation. So, if a conversation has more than one email, it has been replied to.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
