Gmail finally started rolling out an update that includes long-awaited tabs.<\/p>\n

I’m sure a lot of the subscribers will be unhappy with the new design (which can be turned on or off at any time) but personally, I think it’s fantastic and will keep my gmail inbox a heck of a lot more organized.<\/p>\n

The new layout, if available, can be turned on in “Configure Inbox” under the Settings gear. There you can check individual pre-assigned tabs to switch them on or off. Turning them all off takes you back to the original single inbox layout.<\/p>\n

Assigning emails to tabs is as easy as dragging the message onto the tab header. And each header gets its own update notification number whenever new messages arrive. I just wish the Tabs that gmail already has would be editable, but I realize that they are connected to already assigned default categories.<\/p>\n

There’s a “+” symbol at the far right of the tabs which allows you to add your own custom tabs, but that link is not yet working for me. I look forward to the day that it goes live.<\/p>\n

I can see how some folks will get confused with all the Labels, Filters, Categories and now Tabs that Google uses in gmail, but for me, the more organizational tools I have, the happier I am.<\/p>\n

This has completely changed my mood when viewing my gmail. It used to be a bit of a slog going through the long list of messages. Now, it’s a snap to peruse all my organized emails.<\/p>\n
