I'm trying to figure out how to isolate conversations which have only 1
message in them.
All the conversations in question are assigned a label by a filter. (Let's
call the label "ABC".)
As I read the new conversations, I manually assign an additional label to
them. (Let's call it "XYZ".)
It seems to me that if I search for "label:ABC -{label:XYZ}", I should see
only the ABC conversations which do not have the XYZ label, but it's not
working.
It appears that when a new message arrives in one of the conversations I've
labeled XYZ, it sort of overrides the XYZ label, so that my search does not
exclude the conversation.
But labels are applied to whole conversations, not just individual
messages, are they not?
(I realize that there are a couple of workarounds:
1. Create a filter to add UVW to all the messages, and then *remove* it
when I read the new conversation;
2. Mute each new conversation as I read it;
but
1. Removing a label is more work than adding one;
2. I want the old conversations with new messages to appear in my Inbox.)
Any suggestions?
TIA, APB
