Within Google Mail, is it possible to do a boolean based search (IE: has 'ThisLabel' but NOT 'ThatLabel')?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Yes, you can use Google's standard search operators on a Gmail search. I have been testing it in my Gmail account and it seems to be somewhat finicky. Sometimes it returns faulty results (like not removing all messages with the excluded label). In these cases, I reopen the label from the link in the left margin and attempt the search again.
The syntax is
label: ThisLabel -label: ThatLabel
Note that when searching for labels, the system uses all lower case and hyphenates white space. So the Label "Reference Materials" becomes "label:reference-materials"
