Trying to create a filter for Unlabeled emails

[Steve Brito]

First off, GAM has been really amazing in getting user/group info for some migrations that we are doing.

I was trying to push a new label/filter to users, in gmail, the filter looks like this:  -has:userlabels -in:sent -in:chat -in:draft -in:inbox.

From what I can tell, there are no options that encompass these settings for filters in GAM.

It also seems like doing gam user admin filter from us...@email.com label test doesn't populate anything in the label?

Currently on GAM 3.21 x64

Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks!

Bump, Any ideas here? Kind of stumped on this and would love to get this working :)

Fitlers only act on new mail so they don't see labels. I'm pretty sure you can't create a filter like this via the UI or GAM.

It really sounds like what you want is a 'saved search query'.  A filter is designed to move emails into a label or star something.

Even if you could create a filter like you want, it would immediately fail because -has:nouserlabels would no longer be true if you applied a label (this type of label would be a user label).

There is nothing in Gmail that will allow you to save a search query for later retrieval.  However, the address bar will have the query once you perform it so you could simply push a set of bookmarks to user's Chrome sessions.  Not as elegant but it would achieve the result of being able to show what you want.

Hi Jay,

Through the GUI this is possible and is currently how we are asking users to do it. You can run this search on your mailbox which gets all of the not labeled mail and then you can save that search into a label(which then labels all of the emails in the search).

Thanks again!
Steve

That's a search, not a filter. filters only affect new mail.
