Drag and Drop Gmail Labels

Wednesday July 1, 2009
A lot of people criticize Gmail for using labels instead of folders. Google's justification for labels is that you can give an email more than one label, but you can't put it in more than one folder. Many of us were just annoyed that labeling items wasn't as easy as putting them in a folder.

Well that problem is solved. Now you can drag labels onto messages or drag messages onto labels. You can also hide labels you don't frequently use by dragging them below the "more" cutoff on the bottom of the list.
