Gmail Question

I've been using Gmail for quite a while and am quite satisfied.
The question I have is: How do I send a received email to a folder? I can't find anything on the page that has to do with folders. My other email clients make it easy to create folders. Thanks for your help.
  • I put a check mark in the box at the beginning of the message.

    Then open the menu in the "more options" box above the message list and select which folder you wish the message to appear in.

    Then click "go".

    The message you selected will then appear in the folder you picked and also still be in your inbox. You can then delete the one in your inbox if you wish.

    This is what works for the version of Gmail that I have. :) . Don't know what that is however but just what I have always had.

  • In gmail, you use labels to simulate folders. So, to "put a message in a folder", you add a label to it and then archive it.

    You can also use filters to automatically add labels to incoming messages.
  • Select the note you want to file by opening it or putting a check mark to it's left. Then click "Move To", and it will open a popup showing the existing folders, as well as a blank line that you can use to create a new folder/label.
  • Gmail uses labels instead of folders, functionally the same... kind of. There should be a menu item (for me above the message, under three vertical dots) filter messages like this, bringing up a couple of pop ups setting parameters of the filter- sender, message, size, etc. actions include “apply label”, which gives the option of creating a new label.
