How to Show Only Unread Messages in Gmail

Some of you may already know how to only display your unread email messages in Gmail, but if you are clueless, like I was just 5 minutes ago, this will be useful.

To see only your unread mail in Gmail, you just need to:

1. Type any one of these queries in the search box at the top of your Gmail Inbox page:

label:unread
is:unread
l:unread
l:^u

2. Press Enter on your keyboard, or click on the Search Mail button.

That’s it. That simple, but you have to know it.
