Create an 'Unread Messages' View in Gmail
As a user of Gmail for my personal email account, and Google Apps for my work email accounts, I spend a lot of time using the Gmail interface. One thing that I use in Mail/Outlook that I missed in Gmail is a view of my unread messages. Here is a quick tutorial of how I created one.
The first thing that I needed to do was go to 'Labs' within my Gmail account, and enable the 'Quick Links' lab. This adds a block on the left-hand side of my Gmail window, which allows me to quickly bookmark any URL within Gmail.
