How To Use Labels in Gmail

1. Gmail is Google Mail.
2. If you don't have a Gmail account, click here then click on Create Account in the lower right corner of the screen.
3. Gmail refers to labels like folders.  They are a place where you can organize and store emails so that you can refer to them in the future.
4. To create a new label, look for the Create New Label link on the left side of the Gmail screen.
5. You may need to click 'More' to see the link.
6. The New Label window appears.  Type a label name and click OK. (for example, if you want to keep all of your store coupon emails in one "folder" then call the label: store coupons.
7. The new label will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
8. To apply the label to an email, from your Inbox, click the checkbox next to the email.
9. Click the Move To button at the top of the screen.
10. Select the label from the list and the email is moved to that "folder".  To find the email, click on the label name on the left side of the screen.

Happy clicking,
