Working with Labels and Search

Labels are an excellent way to organize your email in Gmail, because they’re far more flexible than folders. A single message can appear in as many or as few labels as you want.

To go to a different label or to create a new label, press the Menu key when you’re in your inbox or any other label. Then tap “Go to labels” .

You see a listing of every one of your labels. Scroll to see all of them. Gmail automatically creates these labels for you:

  • Inbox contains all your incoming messages.

  • Starred shows all the messages you’ve starred (Managing Incoming Mail in Gmail).

  • Chats contains the contents of all chats done via Google Talk.

  • Sent lists all messages you’ve sent.

  • Outbox shows mail you’ve created and asked Gmail to send, but that has not yet been sent.

  • Drafts contains mail you’ve created but not completed.

  • All Mail contains all mail and chats, except for Spam and Trash. It also includes mail that you’ve archived (Understanding Gmail’s Organization).

  • Spam contains all mail marked as spam, either by you or by Google.

    Note

    You can remove mail from Spam by going into the Spam label, reading a message, and tapping “Remove label” from the bottom of the screen.

  • Trash contains mail you’ve deleted but that hasn’t been removed from the trash yet because it’s not more than 30 days ...
