The Label label is a very unique function in Gmail, also a revolutionary innovation of Gmail. It not only completely replaces the classified storage function of the traditional e-mail box, but also cleverly uses some unexpected effects, and now take a look at the relevant applications. ◎ Label conventional usage first: establish a label to log in to Gmail After clicking on the "editlabels" on the lower left corner of the page, enter the label name next to the "CREATE NewLabel" character, then click the "CREATE" button to complete the creation work. . Of course, if you need to rename or delete your label is also performed here. Step 2: Establishing filtering conditions assumes your Gmail user name as China, and has established a CN label, click on the "CreateAfilter" link on the web to enter the page that creates filter criteria, then in the blank bar of "TO" Enter "China cn@gmail.com", click "NextStep" to enter the next step, check "ApplyTheLabel" and select Apply to the "CN" tab, and finally click the "CREATEFILTER" button to save exit. Step 3: Automatic Classification Mail, which is sent to China cn@gmail.com, the system will automatically add a wake-up "CN" identifier in front of the message title, even in many emails, you can easily identify it. And all messages will automatically classify to the "CN" tab, which is more convenient to view it. (In addition to using filtering conditions to automatically add a corresponding label, you can also add manual: Open an email to select directly in the "ApplyLabel" drop-down menu.) Step 4: Search for tag gmail search method The use of Google is basically the same, but only some specified keywords are required for some special search. Example 1: Search Tape "CN" and "Backup" tag Enter "Label: CN Lable: Backup" in the search bar (Note between two Label with a binder) After the auto example 2: Search with "backup", However, the mail does not include "CN" tag Enter "Lable: Backup -Lable: CN" in the search bar "Lable: Backup -Lable: CN" Enter the prompt: When the search "Label:" must be entered, and the tag name should be made to ensure accurate (currently The matching wildcard is not supported, for example, cannot be searched instead of "backup" in "backup"). ◎ Special application of the label In addition to the basic use of the above, with a specific filtration condition, the label function can also have a wider application. Application 1: Transformed into multiple email addresses Theory can be used in the form of "account label @ gmail.com" to generate countless mail addresses so you can apply different addresses to different places as needed. If an address has been lost or harassed by spam, you can move messages with this tag to the spam folder when filtering condition settings. Application 2: Take the Gmail as a network hard disk to back up the data as described above and set a "Backup" tab and set the corresponding filtering criteria, then send information or files that need to be backed up to "account backup @ gmail. Com", so You can have a high up to 1GB of network hard drive (Gmail only supports an attachment that is not more than 10MB).
