Q&A for How to Create a New Folder in Gmail

On desktop, when creating a new label, check the box that says, "Nest label under:" and then select the label which you want your sublabel to be under and click "Create".

On desktop, drag and drop the e-mail into the folder of your choice, then future e-mails from that sender will show up in the folder. On mobile, tap and hold the e-mail you want to move, tap the 3 dots icon in the upper right corner, tap "Move to" and then tap the folder you want it in. This method isn't always completely effective if the sender is using more than one e-mail address (like if you are receiving e-mails from multiple people at one company).

Probably because a label is like a named flag rather than an actual folder. Highlight the message(s) in question and drag them from the message list (right) onto the label in the Inbox list (left). There are also various apps and 3rd party options that do not allow this, so taking items with labels, searching/filtering, then drawing in a full browser is sometimes the only way.

Yes, you can make the folders appear different colors other than gray. Click on a folder once, then click on the symbol that looks like three vertical dots to reveal a button that says "change color." Roll your mouse over that to see a selection of colors from which to choose.

Refresh the page, and click on the options key.

In the Gmail web interface: click the Settings (gear) icon, and select Settings. Click the Labels tab. Scroll down to the Labels section, where labels you've created are shown, and click remove for the label you want to delete. (For labels and categories generated by the system, you can only show or hide the label or category.)

The labels that are generically made for you from Gmail, are on the side available to be clicked on and can be opened on to at any time. Once you have created a new folder, or a label, you can simply just click on it like you would the generic labels as your new label should be listed their as well. If it is not, then the label was not made correctly, or at all. Either way reload the page a couple of times, and if their is no difference just make a new folder/label. But it should be easily opened, if you do things correctly.

Labeling something is different from moving it to another folder. Labeling emails will not remove them from your inbox.

You can use a keyboard shortcut to do this. Press the ALT and the F4 keys at the same time.

Go to Google Mail and follow the instructions on the sign up button\link.

Unfortunately yes. The main reason to create labels is to clear your inbox.
