How do you open a file in your email?

I create a folder for each thing, like a file cabinet in my email.

It depends on what kind of email account you have. You can make different folders, as @KNOWITALL said. @flo, you’re just going to have to play around in your email to figure out how it’s done.

Work is different from home email.

At work, I have a folder for each subject or customer.

At home, I keep a big mailbox and sort it – newest first.

@KNOWITALL and @elbanditoroso but how is the question. It’s on Gmail by the way. On what side of the screen what is the word that you click on etc.

In Gmail, if you click on an email, a group of icons will appear on the top of the screen. One of them is a picture of a file folder. This will say “move to” when you hover over it. If you click on the arrow on the icon a drop down of folders you’ve already created will appear if you’ve created them. Under that – or if you haven’t created any – and under “spam” and “trash” there will be an item labeled “Create new.” This is where you can create new folders to file emails in.

On the left you’ll see your current folders / labels. There will be an option to create a new folder / label. That’s where you create it. Here is a screen print.
You may have to click “see more” before you can see the option. (Where it says, “Less,” under the folder “Receipts” turns into “See more” when things are collapsed.)

^^ Yes, you can do it in either place; the one I described and the place Dutch has mentioned.

Bet we both figured it out by ourselves through trial and error. I did, anyway. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. Usually whatever way we do it the first time is what we stick with. And that’s a horrible saying that I’m really thinking about for the first time!

Thanks all.

What do you call a file that’s not email related, i.e it not Inbox Spam or not) or Sent, or Draft?

Your question isn’t clear. Do you mean in Gmail or in Word or where?

In Gmail.

What do you mean “not email related”?

I mean, Is Create a File only to organize the incoming sent or waiting to be sent emails?

You do that where Dutch and I said and then you can put emails in it. You “Create New” and name it something and then can put emails in it.

Ok, so it’s to organize Inbox Sent and Draft.

Yup. I don’t know if you can move Drafts out of Drafts or why you would want to but for the others, yes. You created the folders and then you can move things into them.

I’d leave the sent and draft folders alone.

It’s to organize many things. You’ll notice that I have folders for “receipts,” for bill that I pay, and jobs I’ve applied for.

Yes. I have folders for “Travel”, “Brookdale Retirement”, “Orders”, etc.

Brookdale? Is that where we’re going @janbb? :D
