drcuriosityI'm sure most of the tech-savvy people out there know this already, but I'm posting for anyone who doesn't, since I just figured it out :-)
In order to easily find and read any mail in Gmail that's unread, do a search for "is:unread". It should be a lot more intuitive than that, but hey, now I know. I've also cleared out about 20 emails marked as unread that I didn't see on the interface because they'd already dropped off the front page.
That works for labels, too. If I were wanting to look for any unread academic work emails dealing with paid work, I could search for "is:unread is:academic is:work". It certainly makes it easier to use a bunch of labels when the intersection of two or more tags is easily accessible.
One of the good things about having a large pile of pillows and duvets is that you can prop yourself up in bed and still do work semi-comfortably when you've strained your neck. Which, as best I can tell, I did by sleeping. While the heat output of my neck feels like it could warm a small Norse village, at least it feels better than it did yesterday, and the pain is minimal unless I do something silly. Rest, ibuprofen and therapeutic massage skills help.
