What is the difference between email folders and Gmail Labels?
�
| Gmail Labels | Folders |
| You can apply any number of Labels to 1 single message | 1 email can be sent to only one folder or you can only copy emails to multiple folder |
| Gmail uses conversation and one label can track all the conversation | NA |
| A conversation can have email from Sent or Draft or Inbox or Archive. Label can pull all that when you click on it | You will have to remember where every related message is |
| You have the option of searching the conversation by Label | This may not be the same with Folders |
| You can add more labels later | You have to copy the emails to more folders |
| You can delete or remove the label applied to an email by one click | You cannot do it easily |
So these are only the theory of the difference between Labels and Folders. If you start using Gmail labels you will see more differences.
My opinion is Labels are the best.
