What I meant is that such a task is not shown on the daily agenda but when I use the agenda to search for all tasks, it is still in the list even if the start date is in the future since inactive timestamps are not recognized by the agenda at all. > I'm not sure how one can query for tasks that do not have a property.

The best way would be to to globally exclude such tasks from all agenda searches as it is possible for tags with (setq org-agenda-filter-preset '("-tag")). But as Bernt wrote this seems to be impossible right now. Or does anybody know how to manage this? Regards, Karl
