Labels

Labels let you group emails across folders — for example Invoice, Travel, or Family. A single email can have several labels at once. Your labels stay in sync across every device you sign in on.

You'll find them under Settings → Labels, and in the sidebar of the email view under the heading LABELS.

Create a label

There are two ways to create a label:

From settings:

1. Go to Settings → Labels
2. Type the name in the New label field
3. Click Add

From an email:

Open an email, click the label icon in the toolbar, and type a name to create a new label and apply it at the same time.

Apply a label to an email

• Open the email you want to tag
• Click the label icon in the toolbar at the top
• Pick one or more labels from the list, or type a new one

The label shows up on the email's row in the list, so you can quickly tell what it's about.

Rename or delete a label

Under Settings → Labels:

• Click the name to rename it
• Click the color dot to change the color
• Click the trash icon to delete it

Deleting removes the label from all messages

When you delete a label, it's removed from every email that has it. The emails themselves aren't deleted — only the label.

Filter by label

Click a label in the sidebar under LABELS to see all emails with that label gathered in one place.

You can also apply a label automatically to incoming email with filters and rules.
