Why do tasks appear in the Unmatched container?
The Unmatched containers will automatically appear if a task needs to be shown but is not matched by any query. This is needed to ensure that the corresponding tasks do not disappear, for example, if the query is set up to only match resolved/completed tasks (a usage anti-pattern, since Mylyn has other mechanisms for preventing completed tasks from showing in the Task List). In order to ensure that you do not miss reminders or notifications the following tasks will always be shown in the Task List, even if they have been removed from a category or a query: • Tasks scheduled for this week or overdue. Remove these by using the Schedule pop-up menu option to defer them to a future week or to clear the schedule. • Repository tasks that have incoming changes, such as comments. Remove these by reading them or marking them as “read” via the Mark → Read pop-up menu. To get rid of tasks in the Unmatched container you can: • Create a new query that matches the tasks. • Right-click on one or more
