How to Organize, configure and add various categories of tabs to your Gmail account.
The Gmail service has undergone a major makeover of late – and we’re impressed with the results. The most startling new feature revolves around tabs, though strangely this new addition isn’t instantly apparent. To access it you have to open the Settings menu (via cog icon) – here you’ll find the option to ‘Configure inbox’, which is where the magic happens.
You can add various categories of tabs to the top of your primary inbox and all the emails relating to these will be automatically filtered into their respective tabbed inbox, instantly de-cluttering your primary inbox.
This makes it far easier to find certain emails and never miss the important ones. You can also move messages between tabs if you find something filed incorrectly and the system is intelligent enough to learn from its mistakes and perform better for you over time. If you operate mainly through your primary inbox, Gmail will notify you when you have new mail in the other tabbed categories. read: How to Permanently delete or Close down your google account
