Great tutorial.
Can we create a rule and move all the emails to a particular label just how we do in Outlook ??

[mayelinsalazar]

[SuperWindsage]

is there anyway that you could set up individual tabs for like a single email type? like say I want all email from Youtube in its own Youtube tab.

Do we get notified like normal mails for new mails that are directed into label folders?

[doveandolive]

Great video! Is there a way to have your labels as a tab?

[DiyintheGhetto]

Hello in 4:05 my tabs are mixed up. They are Inbox, Promotions then Social. How do I put back Social in the middle?

Is this possible with Comcast emails? I have been trying with no success.

3:35 You can move one of your emails to the label and make it as a folder??? What on Earth does that mean?

[alanmalcheski]

Gmail keeps saving my emails as a draft, every 30 seconds. I have been getting text messages that are from email addresses, not phone numbers. I know they're spam but I clicked one to see what it is, and then my email started doing that. Virus scan says no virus. Is my gmail messed up or what?

Still Outlook is far better than Gmail

[Just___me_]

I cannot find "create new label" anywhere.
