The Gmail Inbox
(Click on the picture for a Larger View)
Using Filters
Gmail's filters allow you to manage the flow of incoming messages. Using filters, you can automatically label, archive, delete, star, or forward your mail, even keep it out of Spam -- all based on a combination of keywords, sender, recipients, and more.
Conversations
Gmail groups all replies with their original message, creating a single conversation or thread. In Gmail, replies to replies (and replies to those replies) are displayed in one place, in order, making it easier to understand the context of a message -- or to follow the conversation.
Using Labels
Labels do all the work folders do and give you an extra bonus: you can add more than one to a conversation. Once you've created a label, you can view all the messages with that label by searching, or by clicking the label name along the left side of any Gmail page.
What is 'All Mail'
All Mail is your archive, a storage place for all the mail you've ever sent or received, but have not deleted. You can see a list of archived messages by clicking All Mail. Archived messages are also available by searching, and under any assigned labels.
Starred Messages
Assign stars to special conversations or messages, or use them as a visual reminder that you need to follow-up on a message or conversation later.
Archive
Archiving moves messages out of your inbox and into All Mail, letting you tidy up your inbox without deleting anything. Any message you've archived can be found in All Mail, in any labels you've applied to it, and in Gmail search results. When someone responds to a message you've archived, the conversation containing that message will reappear in your inbox.
Gmail Search
You can use Gmail search the same way you'd use Google Search, by entering a word (or multiple words) that appears anywhere within the message you want to locate. If you're looking for a message that contains the word shopping, simply type shopping in the search field and press Search Mail. Your results will be displayed with your search terms highlighted in yellow.
Settings
Your settings include the following tabs: General, Accounts, Labels, Filters, Forwarding & POP/IMAP, Chat, Web Clips, Labs, and Themes.
