It's easy with GMail

● Folders– Gmail does not use folders– Outdated concept– People “copy” and “move” an email into perhaps

one or more folders in other systems, this is clearly silly

Labels

● Gmail allows you to label– An email, with one or more labels– Funnily enough a conversation can belong to

several streams of thought....

Creating Labels

● Go to the “cog” symbol - top right hand corner● Then click on “Settings”● Then Labels (2nd from left)

– Scroll down to “Create new label”

– Or …...

Gmail allows us to..

● Create filters and labels– At the same time

● You can read an email then create a rule which says, “for every email from the this person”, attach this “label” or “labels” to it

● Or● For every email containing “blah” in the body, “label”

it with the following label

Confused?

● Lets do the demo....

Or we can nest a NEW label under exisiting one
