Organizing Your Gmail Inbox Using Folders

You may have been using folders in your First Class to organize your email.  Gmail also offers this capability.  

Select the emails that you would like to place into a folder by checking the box next to the email.

Click on the folder Icon.  

• Folder already exists.
  If you have already created the folder, you simply choose the folder name.
  For example, If I wanted to store these emails in the folder Winchester 2013-2014, I would click on that folder in the picture on the right.
• Folder does not exist.
  If the folder does not already exist, click on the words Create New.
• The New Label window will appear.  Type in the name of the folder you would like to create.  In this case, it is Attendance.

• If you would like to store this Attendance folder as a sub-folder, e.g., perhaps you wold like to store it within the Winchester 2013-2014 folder.
• To create a sub-folder, click on Nest label under box and select the parent. 

• Click Create to create your folder.

After completing these steps, your folder will appear in your left navigation area under your Inbox.
