Labeling a conversation
You organize conversations by labeling them. Gmail has several built-in labels. You can
add your own labels and assign them colors by using Gmail on the web (custom label
colors you create on the web are not supported in Gmail on the phone).
Viewing labeled conversations is described in “Viewing conversations by label” on
page 122.
