How to show unread messages in Gmail (Again)

A while ago I posted a short article about how to list unread emails in Google Mail. I have found a way to also list unread emails which have a particular label. Simply enter label:unread label:XXXXX in the search bar - replacing XXXXX with the particular label applied to unread messages you wish to find. For example, if you have some messages labelled with Work, you can find any of those that are unread by searching for label:unread label:Work.

This could also be used to find those messages to which two or more labels are applied.

Sourceforge: The home of open source software

Sourceforge is an excellent repository of free software for Windows, Linux, MacOS and even Android. All the software is open source, meaning that the source code is also made available for other programmers to edit. This provides for a collaborative approach to software development.

Sourceforge hosts a number of well-known application, including VLC media player, Audacity sound editor, and Pidgin IM. It also provides Games, Educational, and Science & Engineering software. So go and browse the directory of software to see whether there is anything that you may like.

Apologies for not posting anything recently. I have been very busy with the start of the new university year. Since things have calmed down a bit now, I have found time to tidy up the Freeware page on this blog, as well as adding a few Linux applications to the list.
