Emails Folders? — What is it? Use Labels Instead in G mail

      The days or organizing the emails using folders are over. I still remember the good old days when I was having at least 50 folders in my yahoo and hotmail account. I’ll organize the folders based on projects, people etc.
Not having to organize emails in a folder is a total freedom.  Labels are like tags. You can create multiple labels and attach it to emails. Later it becomes easier for you to retrieve emails. If you are used to delicious bookmarking, you’ll have no problem using the Gmail labels effectively.

Creating Labels

• Click on “Settings”
• Enter label name in “Label” part and Click on “Create”
• Created Labels will be listed in your labels list. i.e Right below the ‘Spam’ folder on the top right side.

Assigning Labels to an Email

• Select the email message or conversation
• Drag and drop it to the particular label to which you want to move. When moving you will see a tip message like “Moving 1 Conversation”.
• (or) You can also select the message using the check-box in front of it and click on Labels drop-down list on the top and select multiple labels using the check-box.
