How to Create a New Folder in Gmail

Gmail is the email platform that Google owns. Although there are other email platform, we find Gmail to be intuitive and user friendly. That said the platform allows you to handle and sort mails easily. You don’t have to struggle to organise your emails.

Maybe you have a cluttered email box and want them organised, using labels is one of the ways to go about this. Labels are like folders that help you categorise emails. The major difference is that an email can have more than one label. If you’ll like to know how to create new labels, let’s dive right into it.

How to Create a New Label in Gmail

1. Launch the Gmail website on your preferred browser and sign into your account.

2. Look over the top-right corner for the gear icon and click it. When you do, it will open up Settings.

3. Next, select See All Settings which will open up more options.

4. After that, select the Labels tab. When the label option opens, move down and select Create a New Label.

If you like, you can nest labels. Note that you have to have at least one label already created for a nested label to exist.

You can create a nested label by checking the box beside Nest Label Under. Then just click the arrow by the side of the text box and select the parent label you want the nested label go live in.

Once you do that, you’ll see an alert down your screen to let you know that a label has been created.

Move Email to Another Tab

You might have seen how Gmail sorts emails into the default inbox tabs (Primary, Socials, Promotions). You’ll see some newsletter and company’s email going into promotion when probably you want them in another folder.

If you want your favourite newsletter email to be always be sent into the Primary tab instead of Promotions, you can set it so that it always moves there. Here’s how:

1. Go to the inbox tab and locate the email you wish to move

2. The next thing you should do is just to drag and drop that particular email to another tab. For instance you can move a newsletter that normally goes to the Promotions tab to the Primary tab by just dragging and dropping the said email in the Primary tab.

After you do that, you’ll see an alert that will inform you that the change has been made.

Afterwards, a prompt will come up asking you if you’ll like future emails from that senders to be moved to that tab. Just select Yes.
