Gmail Colored Labels

Postby oldbuddy » 06 May 2016, 00:27

I really like the new addition to Gmail Labels, that now lets you add color to your labels to make them easier to find without searching. For example, I have a Label for Forum Coin messages and several other daily messages I get in larger quantities, but if they are all the default gray it's hard to see on my phone (small font). But if you look to the right of each Label in the list on the left, there is a dropdown arrow that opens a menu with Label Color at the top. One quick click and all the emails with that label will use the color you selected and they really stick out.

Have fun!

This is great except that I do not use my gmail account as a primary email. However, it would be nice if all email accounts had this feature. That would make it so much easier to sort emails into ones that you want to read right away and which ones you can leave for later.

This is only one of the advanced features Gmail offers, that sets them head and shoulders above the rest in my eyes.

Thank you for sharing this feature from Gmail. Gmail is my primary email and I always like to set the labels. It'll be useful for me to have a glance at the colored label and know what the email is about. ;)

I don't use Gmail as my primary email and therefore I rarely use it. It's nice to know that the coloured labels have been introduced. Perhaps other email providers came with such unique features. I, for one use my mobile primarily for all tasks. This would really make life easier.

Guess I need to check this out.

I just figured a label was a label.

Thanks for the tip.

Gmail is wonderful on my mobile too, but I do have a smartphone.

I use Gmail color labels to mark the most important thing with the red color. I haven't really assigned color labels to many things yet, because I create folders for each site and file the email in its appropriate folder. I find it more convenient for me to get to.

I seen this feature yesterday but I didn't utilize it as of yet. I may go into my settings and set it up when I have some free time.
