It’s easy to add new gmail labels to use as folders, and it’s just as easy to add multiple ones to categorize your messages.
Adding labels to your emails is similar to putting several sticky notes on an important document, while moving a message to a label will basically work the same as a folder. by adding a tag, you can mark it with multiple subcategories. for example, a single email could be labeled “vacation plans,” “tickets,” and “important.” this helps when you flip through your inbox to find emails.
