How to Create a Label in Android Email

Any cellphone that runs on the Android mobile operating system requires the user to sign in with a Google Account and uses Gmail as the default email service. In lieu of folders, Gmail lets users categorize their email with labels. Since your Gmail account syncs with your Android device, any labels you create through Gmail will be added to the Email app on your Android device. This means you can create labels for Android Email from your Web browser.
