Labels

Labels help you arrange and quickly find emails. You can assign any number of labels to each email.

Four standard labels are available in your mailbox by default: Important, Unread, With attachments, and Awaiting reply (the last one is displayed if response reminder is enabled). These labels can be found under the list of folders.

Add label

Select the messages you want want to restore.
Click Label in the upper menu, or select Label as → New label from the context menu.
Enter the name of the label (a maximum of 15 characters) and click on it to apply the changes. If you want to set the color for the new label right away, choose New label in the list of labels.

If you have already created some labels, you can simply drag emails to the required label in the list on the left or drag the label from the list to the relevant email.

To flag a message, click the icon to the left of the sender's portrait.

You can add a label when creating a message to make it stand out in the list of sent emails.
