hi
I use flags on emails a lot, to allocate messages to projects so they can be archived later, when the project finishes.
it would be really good if i could look at my inbox (currently 1628 messages) without seeing flagged emails. That way i could see the ones that i haven't flagged, and either allocate them to the appropriate project or delete them.
Is it possible to view only the un-flagged messages?
thanks in advance

I've just looked and unfortunately there are options to say "message is flagged" or "message has a particular flag" (e.g. urgent), but there is not an option for message has NO flag..
Good try though!
You'd have to make two Smart Mailboxes. One that lists all messages that are flagged, then another where message is not in mailbox "Flagged" smart mailbox. That is the only way to get a "Not" option in Smart Mailboxes where the individual criteria do not have the option.
In the past, there has been some flakiness about that sort of setup, so it may or may not work.
The other option is to sort by flags.

I’m not at a Mac to check, but I think you might be able to make a smart mailbox that shows messages where the a flag is not set.
Great!
two solutions that work!
thanks very much
