If you’re like most people, you use labels in Gmail to organize your messages by topic or type. In this article, we’ll show you how to create and use labels in Gmail step-by-step.
Create a label
Label is a handy tool in Gmail that you can use to group emails together. To create a label, open your inbox and click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen. From the drop-down menu that appears, select Labels.
Click on the New Label button at the top of the Labels screen. Enter a name for your label and select where you want to store it. (You can also create labels in the Inbox or Sent Items folders.)
Now, every email that matches the name of your label will be grouped together in your inbox. To access a specific label, just click on it in your inbox and all the emails associated with that label will be displayed.
