Gmail: Drag ‘n drop labels

Posted by Jacque on July 1st, 2009

I opened my Gmail this morning and saw that a new feature has been added.  The image below popped right up to inform me and I’ve already made use of drag and drop convenience.

There’s a new location for labels — right above your chat list and grouped with Inbox, Drafts, etc.

Gmail starts you out with the two labels you most commonly use, but you can easily change the settings to show more, less, or others.  Hiding some labels clears the clutter and the real estate, but you can access them quickly by clicking the “more” link.  To show, hide or delete a label, click the down arrow to its left and choose from the menu.

Want to overhaul your labels in general?  Go to Settings > Labels and edit in bulk.

You can drag messages onto a label, or drag the label to the message.  It’s easy.  See the Official Gmail blog for illustrations.
