Label E-mails that are located in your Inbox.

Step 1: You can start the process by opening an individual email or by selecting one or more by clicking on the check box located to left of the email. Placing a check in the box will highlight them in beige.

Step 2: Click on the down arrow located in the "More Actions" box right above your list of emails. Scroll down and click on the label that you want to place on the email(s). A message will appear at the top informing you of the number of emails that were labeled. The label name will also appear in green in the email subject line.

Step 3: If you want to remove the email(s) that you labeled from the Inbox, click on the Archive button located at the top left of your email. This will remove the selected emails from your Inbox. They will remain in the label section and are also accessed by clicking on the All Mail link.
