Gmail Tips - Labels

You probably use labels in Gmail, which basically act as folders.

How to create labels for your emails
The easiest way to create a new label is to click on the big + sign on the left-hand side of your screen. This opens the basics for your new label:
the name and where to nest it under (your “filing cabinet” structure).

When you create names for your folders, be aware that they are sorted
alphabetically by Gmail. If you want to sort them differently, an easy way
to do this is by naming your folder i.e. 001 Finances, 002 Private, etc.

How to colour the labels
Once created, you can click on the three overflow dots beside the label to
select colours and a lot of other things.
