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? ›

GMail Macros

Submitted by MarinaMartin on January 18, 2008 - 11:37pm.

I have an @WAITINGON label in GMail. As soon as I send an email that requires a response, I label it @WAITINGON.

This takes less than a second if you have the GMail Macro Greasemonkey script installed (Firefox). I just hit 'l' for label and then @ for "@WAITINGON" and poof, it's labeled.

Then I check my @WAITINGON during my Weekly Review, if not more frequently.

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. »
