Hey Jessica,
Labels are analogous to folders in Gmail. You can't have
traditional folders in Gmail, but your labels essentially act
like folders. The only difference is that you can assign an Email
to more than one label at a time. But if you want to use labels
as you would use traditional folders, then simply be sure that no
message is assigned to more than one label.
You can also set up filters so that messages are automatically
assigned to labels based upon certain criteria. For example my
BrailleNote List emails are assigned to a label called
BrailleNote; my Viphone list Emails are assigned to a label
called Viphone, and so on. Then in addition, all those Emails are
assigned to an additional label called Lists, so that I can
quickly access Email from any list. This makes searching for
Emails very easy to, because for example, if you wanted to search
for a particular Email but did not want to see any list Emails in
the search results, you could simply enter as your search query,
"sample search -label:lists". The dash lets Gmail know that you
want to exclude something from your search, in this case your
'Lists' label.
Hope this helps,
Grant
