One way to better maintain your email account is to create folders (known as \u201clabels\u201d in Gmail) and organize your emails accordingly. Here\u2019s how to create them in Gmail.<\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned above, Gmail uses a system known as labels\u2014it doesn\u2019t actually have folders. While there are some subtle differences between labels and the traditional folder (such as the ability to assign an email to multiple labels), the concept is pretty much the same. Labels are used to organize emails, just like you would with folders.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_New_Label_in_Gmail_for_Desktop\"><\/span>Create a New Label in Gmail for Desktop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get started, open the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gmail.com\">Gmail website<\/a> in your desktop browser of choice (such as Chrome) and log in to your account.
