Use the Mouse to Easily Classify its Gmail Messages

Throughout the series of recent articles, we discussed the role of "label" in Gmail; like creating labels - just like folders on other e-mail programs - can help you organize and sort e-mail, giving you the opportunity to do the important things is right on your fingerprints. We talked about setting up and creating labels in Gmail. Now it's time to get those email messages to organize. Remember, as we said in the previous article, you can choose to "hide" or "show" tag on your own Gmail page, to make sure that you have chosen to show what you really need duty.

So - you have email messages sent to your Gmail inbox, and labels that you want to put some of those messages ... and now? First, let's talk about "manually" move some of these incoming messages. Remember, the labels are just as "folders" that appear in other messaging systems and even on the hard drive of your computer. In that spirit, here's how to move messages: Sure, you may notice that new messages arrive in your Gmail inbox, unread are displayed in bold. Each message in the Gmail inbox as a separate line of text, showing (left to right reading in the message) sender, subject and date and / or time the message arrived in an entry box.

Since "caught" you can drag the message through one of the labels displayed on the left side of the window, including both built-in Gmail labels or any label you have created yourself. Remember, Gmail calls "conversations" email because, as you answer back and fourth with the sender of the original e-mail, all those individual messages are "stacked" on top of each other continuously "conversation. "Once you get the box on its label (the text line in the left column), simply release the mouse button, and the conversation will be moved to that label.

Now, if you have multiple email conversations you want to move on a separate label, you can with the small icon next to the message - the check box. If you have not used before, you can use the check box to select multiple messages, and apply any action that will affect all flagged messages. You can remove a large number of messages so that, or move them to a label / record, the regular inbox. Just use your mouse to click (again, left single mouse for the PC people) in the small checkbox for each message. Thus, when using the method of click and drag to speak, all the recorded messages will be moved. You will know that you are moving more than one message because the box "mobile chat" will display the number of messages to move. Check four messages and drag them to a label; see "Moving 4 conversations." Furthermore, this method of checking several messages for a "mass action" is very useful to identify and get rid of spam. Scan your inbox every morning and check the messages that are clearly spam, then click the "Report Spam" button at the top of the message list. This will move all messages checked the spam label and automatically delete after 30 days. It will also help Gmail learn what you consider spam, and therefore do a better job of automatically filter spam messages in the future.
