Hi Carlos - just curious, what app are you going with on your phone?

Hi,

I’m trying to understand better how to use Smart Folders. I have a Smart Folder that shows emails with the Tag (also Gmail/IMAP label) “ToReply” (this allows me to mark emails to answer on the go by applying the label from my phone, or with a shortcut in MailMate) contained anywhere on my account (so I can mark an email ToReply and move it out of the Inbox if needed).

I would like the email to be removed from the Smart Folder when I reply to it. My naive understanding of this is that I could set up a rule that would remove the tag if the message is “replied”, but this of course doesn’t work unless I manually apply the rules to the folder, which defeats the purpose of the automation, so I have to manually remove the tag after I reply to the email.

Any ideas on how to make a workflow like the above work?

Make the Replied tag not being set a condition of inclusion in the Smart Folder

Thanks, this is very useful. I should have clarified: one of my goals is to have a workflow that works on my phone as well.

While your suggestion works while in MailMate, if I’m looking at the “ToReply” label/folder on my phone, I would see a bunch of tagged emails that have been replied to. Hence my need to remove the tag.

What I ended up doing to solve this, together with your suggestion, was to create a second smart folder that only looks for tagged emails that have been replied to, and then removes the tag with a rule. That seemed to work as I wanted.

Thank you!

Carlos
