  4. Set the filter to apply the "Unread" label to emails that are unread and in the inbox.
  5. Click "Create filter" to save the filter.

Using Gmail's built-in features

  1. Click on the "All" tab in your inbox to see all emails, including unread ones.
  2. Use the "Priority" feature to mark important emails as unread. Go to the gear icon > See all settings > General > Priority inbox.
