Thank you for clearly explaining these tips!

Great video, can you please tell me, is there a method I can use to move emails from a specific sender to a label of my choice? I have a Label called General, however emails I received from a specific person I want to move to their own Label which I have created. There are years of emails from this person so doing this one by one would be very labor intensive. Thanks for any advice you can offer. Much appreciated..!

Great Video @simpletivity. Is it possible to email everyone inside these labels, rather than making them as a contact?

Thank you for this video. I would like to know where you get the Yellow circle that is around your cursor? I do presentations and need people to be able to see where I am pointing.

Any way to automatically label a mail on opening it?

Can you tell us how to sort labelled emails in the main page. For example all the labelled "urgent" first, then all the labelled " to follow up" etc

How do I delete old emails that I saved

I got 7:28 into this and quit. He has yet to discuss the most important topic- how does one get email addresses into a label. Shouldn't that be the first topic> If one can't do that, all the little tricks he discusses don't matter.😡

It was hard to follow you because you talk way too fast for me.
