Gmail: How to create a Label and the meaning of Label

For those who work in an office or simply use mail to work, everyone will sometimes fall into a state of mail drift, dilute mail because one day you have to receive too many mails from colleagues, customers, from relatives, from friends. So how do you find the email sent by a colleague from 1.2 months ago about an important project? If so, how long does it take to find the email again? 5, 10 minutes or an hour, even a morning, and in the end you still can't find it?

Gmail Filters has assisted you in sorting mail in Gmail with Stickers (Labels). Gmail's Labels you can sort emails in Gmail with more conditional settings: sender (From), recipient (To), subject (Subject), Contains keyword (Contain keyword), contains attachments or not, by size and time, etc. With these features you will easily organize your files business email or your own in a scientific and proactive way.

2. The role of Stickers in work

 

a. Sort and filter data

There are two ways to create a new filter for your Gmail, creating a label based filter will help you filter the mails by the label you have created, this helps you filter out not only by name, recipient but also based on on the overarching content of the mail

 

Method 1:

You click on the icon Settings on the right hand side, select Settings, select tab Filters and Blocked Addresses, then choose Create new filter

 

 

Then you can choose to type the name of the sender, recipient or subject, the content of the mail you want to receive, to filter by label, you can click Create filter with this search, then tick the box Apply the label

Finally click on Create filter

 

 

So you can filter mail based on the label you have set up

Way 2

This way is much simpler, you just need to tick the arrow icon on the search bar in your Gmail, here it will display the filter settings panel.

The remaining installation steps to filter mail by Label Label you do the same as method 1

 

b. Use as a folder

 

You can open a sticker and see all emails marked with that label, just like you would view emails when you open a folder. Not only that, you can also create sub-label sets the same way you create subdirectories.

Not only that, you can also search for all emails marked with the same sticker, and from viewing the label or label color you can determine the nature of the incoming mail (work, family, friends). friends, ads…) as a folder
