You would have discovered that your solution doesn't work because wildcards aren't supported. -label:* will show everything except a filter with the name "*" (yes, you can create a label named "*"). I wish that did work... though it still would be a workaround, and not useable for IMAP access. What we really need is an Unlabeled view similar to the All Mail view. Brian Alex,

-label:* will show everything except a filter with the name “*” (yes, you can create a label named “*”).

You'll have to manually break the generated string (and account for the formatting) if you try this with too many labels.

Step 3: create a new label (ie. LABELWITHOUTSTAR) Step 4: Seacht for conversations without a star ( -is:starred) Step 5: Select al these conversations and apply the LABELWITHOUTSTAR label. Finished!

Your macro works fine, with some exceptions. I use IMAP to synch with Gmail and I have subfolders under my inbox which show up as INBOX/label in gmail. The subroutine Replace_Spaces only handles spaces and does not replace non alphanumeric characters. Thus the search string fails for me. To fix this, I replaced the Replace_Spaces with the following code: Sub Replace_Spaces() ' Replace labels with dashes to format for Gmail search Call Select_Cells For K = 32 To 47 If K 45 Then If K = 42 Then Selection.Replace What:="~" & Chr(K), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False Else Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False End If End If Next K For K = 58 To 64 If K = 63 Then Selection.Replace What:="~" & Chr(K), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False Else Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False End If Next K For K = 91 To 96 Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False Next K For K = 123 To 126 If K = 126 Then Selection.Replace What:="~" & Chr(K), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False Else Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False End If Next K End Sub I also added a "OR label:Inbox" in the Creat_Final_String subroutine as I'm only trying to find unlabeled email in the All Mail items to find archived email. Orig: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "' OR from:me OR in:chat)" New: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "' OR label:Inbox OR from:me OR in:chat)" Thanks for the Excel Spreadsheet.

Your macro works fine, with some exceptions. I use IMAP to synch with Gmail and I have subfolders under my inbox which show up as INBOX/label in gmail. The subroutine Replace_Spaces only handles spaces and does not replace non alphanumeric characters. Thus the search string fails for me.

To fix this, I replaced the Replace_Spaces with the following code:

Sub Replace_Spaces()
‘ Replace labels with dashes to format for Gmail search

Call Select_Cells

For K = 32 To 47

If K 45 Then

If K = 42 Then

Selection.Replace What:=”~” & Chr(K), Replacement:=”-”, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False

Else

Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:=”-”, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False

End If

End If

Next K

For K = 58 To 64

If K = 63 Then

Selection.Replace What:=”~” & Chr(K), Replacement:=”-”, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False

Else

Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:=”-”, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False

End If

Next K

For K = 91 To 96

Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:=”-”, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False

Next K

For K = 123 To 126

If K = 126 Then

Selection.Replace What:=”~” & Chr(K), Replacement:=”-”, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False

Else

Selection.Replace What:=Chr(K), Replacement:=”-”, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=False

End If

Next K

End Sub

I also added a “OR label:Inbox” in the Creat_Final_String subroutine as I’m only trying to find unlabeled email in the All Mail items to find archived email.

Orig: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = “‘ OR from:me OR in:chat)”

New: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = “‘ OR label:Inbox OR from:me OR in:chat)”
