Creating folders in your email messages helps organize your email messages and makes them easier to access. If you are using the Gmail service, you can create folders under the name (Labels). And start moving emails into these categories for organizational purposes.
For example: you can have all work emails from a specific client in one tab and store event planning emails in another tab.
Here's how to create labels and move emails into labels in Gmail to better organize your inbox:
1- How to create stickers in Gmail:
You can create labels in the Gmail app for iPhone and desktop but not in the Gmail app for Android phones, but you can create labels with the desktop version and then use the app on Android.
Follow these steps to create a label in Gmail Desktop:
1- Go to the Gmail website and log into your account.
2- Click on the settings icon that appears in the form of a cogwheel in the upper right corner of the screen, then click on the “Show all settings” option.
3- On the Tags tab, scroll down to the Tags section and click Create New Tag.
4- Enter the desired taxonomy name and click Create. If you want to add the new tab to an existing one, select Nested tabs under the option that appears below the new tab name, and then select the previous tab you want the new tab to go to.
Create a label in the Gmail app on your iPhone or iPad; Do the following:
- Open the Gmail app on your iPhone or iPad
- Log in to your account.
- Click the three-line menu icon in the upper left corner of the screen.
- Scroll down to the Labels section and click New.
- In the popup, enter the name you want to give the note (up to 225 characters), then tap Done.
To add emails to labels in Gmail:
Once labels are created in Gmail, you can add emails to them to organize them by following these steps:
- In Gmail Desktop, check the box next to the email you want to report, then click the label icon on the right side of the top toolbar. If you're using the Gmail app, for any email you want to name, tap the circular sender profile icon, tap the three-dot icon, and select the naming option from the pop-up.
- On the desktop and app versions, check the box next to the label you want to add the message to. Then click on the Apply button on the desktop version or if you are using the Gmail app, click on the checkmark that appears in the upper right corner.
This way, these emails will appear in your chosen category and remain visible on the main Emails page. If you want to move them into this category without appearing on the main email page, click the Move option instead of the Options tab.
