Labels — Color-Coded Email Organization

Labels help you categorize and filter emails in your inbox. Create custom labels with colors to visually organize your threads.

  1. Go to Settings > Labels.
  2. Click Create Label.
  3. Enter a label name (e.g., “Urgent”, “Newsletters”, “Receipts”).
  4. Pick a color from the 14 available presets.
  5. Click Create.

From your inbox:

  1. Open a thread or select it from the list.
  2. Click the Label button.
  3. Select one or more labels to apply.

Labels appear as colored badges on your threads.

Click on any label in your inbox sidebar or filter bar to show only threads with that label.

  1. Go to Settings > Labels.
  2. Click the Edit button next to the label.
  3. Update the name or color.
  4. Click Save.
  1. Go to Settings > Labels.
  2. Click Delete next to the label.
  3. Confirm.

Deleting a label removes it from all threads it was applied to. The threads themselves are not affected.
