</div>I actually have two filters to apply two labels to each incoming<br>
mythtv message. One is just "mythtv" and the other is "mythtv-inbox".<br>
I read messages under the mythtv-inbox label, and then "archive" them<br>
by removing that label. When reading a message under a label, the<br>
same keyboard shortcut (y) that archives a message in the normal inbox<br>
view will remove the label that allowed you to see that message in the<br>
label view.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div>Wow. That's genius! <br></div></div>I just implemented your solution and used it and I love it.<br>The only other thing I would like to be able to do is to mass archive messages in the way you describe (by removing the "mythtv-inbox" label).<br>
Thanks for this tip.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>I found out it is trivially easy to "mass archive" using the above system. This has to be the single best gmail tip anyone has ever shared with me :D<br>
