Edit, Rename, Delete Gmail Labels (Gmail Tips and Tricks)

How to Create, Edit, Rename or delete Labels in Gmail?

Gmail offers this wonderful feature called labels to organize the emails. I have already posted about changing label colors. Follow these steps to Edit the labels.

• Log in to Gmail
• Top right corner of the page you will see the settings button, Click “Settings”
• You will get a page with all the settings information
• Click the “Label” Tab
• You will see all the available labels
• If you want to rename any Labels, on the right side you will see a link called “Rename”
• Click the “Rename” link, you will see a pop up asking for the new name
• Enter the new name and change the label name
• If you want to delete any labels that you do not want, Click “Remove” link at the right side of the each Label
• It will ask for a confirmation to delete (You cannot get the labels back)
• If you click OK the label will be deleted
• Remember, if you delete a label, the emails assigned with the labels will not be deleted. But if you delete the label by mistake you cannot assign the label back to the same emails
• If you want to create a new label
• Enter the new label name into the “Create a new Label” Box and click “Create”
