Subject: Viewing and sorting by only unread messages and other types
Hi,

I understand I can use "Search" to find only unread messages using
"is:unread" or something similar, but why does it have to be so
difficult? Why isn't there a "View Unread" button, which I would think
would be a pretty obvious feature? Is there now an easier way?

Also, I searched for this question to see how other people were
handling it, and found dozens of people asking the same thing in
dozens of different posts in the Gmail Help Discussion group that I
was in. Why is "Forward" the only option available, instead of "Reply-
To"? Why could I only forward it via email to someone or view it?

Why does "More Options" only show this?

"Forward  | Print  | Individual message  | Report this message  | Find
messages by .."

That's pretty frustrating and lame. What gives? :-)

I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, but I've posted many times in
different groups without an answer, and really hope there's one out
there. Thanks so much.

Thanks,
Dave

"Reply" and "Reply to all" are available on at least two places on the
screen:
1. at the bottom of the email
2. in the drop-down list at the top right corner of the email

To view all unread emails quickly:
- go to settings --> labs
- enable the "Quick links" and save changes at the bottom
- there is now a "Quick links" box in your inbox on the left
- type "is:unread" in the search box and press Enter
- click on "Add quick link" in the Quick links box
- give a name to this link, e.g. "unread" and press OK
- now you just have to click on this link to view unread emails
