Gmail For Mobile Now Includes Label Support

1

by Chris Moor

Google have added label functionality to their Gmail for mobile client. Only available for Android powered handsets and the iPhone, the new mobile feature enable users to tag their inbox with color-coded labels to better manage their incoming emails.

To label an email, select a message then tap ‘Label as…” from the drop-down menu on the Floaty Bar. In the pop-up menu, select the label(s) you would like to use and tap ‘Apply’. Please note, you can add and remove existing labels to your emails in Gmail for mobile, but labels can only be created, renamed and deleted in the desktop version.

    This is great news!

    Any developers find a way to get the Labels to use the same color coding system? The colored labels and the ability to easily scroll between previous and following e-mails are the only two things missing from the mix currently.

    Thanks!
