Keeping your emails organized is essential to finding the ones you need when you need them. One easy way to do this is by creating folders and moving your messages to them.
If you use Gmail, you’ll see default folders, those already created for you, in the menu on the left side. When you set up your own, they’ll fall in line in that same spot, giving you a quick and easy way to organize your inbox. Here’s how to create folders in Gmail and move emails to them.
Before we begin, it’s important to note that Gmail doesn’t refer to folders as “folders.” They’re called “labels,” but function the same way as folders.
To make a label on desktop, just click the plus sign next to the word "Labels" in the menu on the left. Then enter a name for the label and, optionally, another label to nest it under.
Oddly enough, you cannot make a label on Android phones. If you own an iOS device, however, you can find a "Create New" button in the menu that pops up after tapping the three horizontal lines icon in the top left.
You have a few different ways to move emails to folders in Gmail. Probably the simplest way is to use the Move to option in the toolbar.
Step 1: Select the email you want to move in your inbox by ticking its corresponding checkbox.
Step 2: Pick the Move to option in the toolbar at the top. The Move to icon looks like a file with an arrow in the middle.
Step 3: From the menu that appears, choose the folder where you want to place the email.
When you do this, it removes the email from your Inbox and places it in the chosen folder. This is a great way to keep your inbox neat and tidy.
Step 4: You can also move an email to the folder by doing one of the following:
By creating folders (or labels) in Gmail, you can keep your messages organized for work, school, your personal life, or whatever you find most helpful.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
