Here’s how you can organise and add labels to your emails

Using only one email for all sorts of purposes — office, college, and casual — is prone to making you frustrated, especially when the inbox gets piled up with emails coming from various sources which eventually gives a very messy look.

Gmail labels are a bit different from folders. Here you can add as many labels as you want and your emails will be stored in them, but once you delete an email from your inbox, it will entirely be removed from everywhere including the labels it was added into.

The guide we are going to give you right away is only applicable on a PC/computer because the Gmail app on smartphones does not have the feature to let you edit and delete labels, you can only create labels on your phone.
