Guide: How to Manage Gmail Tabs
Gmail’s new interface, the tabbed interface, is an attempt by the email giant to help you organize and categorize your messages in the form of tabs. If the service has already rolled out to your account, you will see a slight change in the inbox – at the top right of the messages, you will see some tabs namely Primary, Social, Promotions, etc. The tabs are optional and you can choose whether or not to be part of your interface. However, it is also important to know if you have the feature or not, all your messages are always and automatically divided into one of the following five categories:
In this post, we will learn about how to enable or disable this new one feature in Gmail, and how to manage it efficiently.
How to Enable or disable Gmail tabs
First and foremost, your account must have the feature rolled out to you. By now, almost all Gmail users have it. If you don’t see any tabs, here are the steps to activate them: Step 1: Click on the gear-like icon in the top right corner of your Gmail interface. Then click Configure inbox.
Step 2: A bang-up on the page you can choose which tabs you want to see. Check the respective boxes and Save.
Voila, the tabs are there. An alternative way to do this is to go to Settings -> Inbox -> Categories and make the changes.
Deactivating tabs is not available as a separate option. To turn them off, you just need to uncheck all the boxes on the tab that you ticked in Step 2 above. You should also have now taken into account that you don’t have to pin all five tabs in your inbox. You can be selective and keep only the tabs that are likely to help you.
A must to know Trick
The way Gmail works with the tabs is that the algorithm chooses the tab and decides where a particular message should end up up in. This can sometimes lead to uncomfortable experiences. For example, an email that you want to have under the social or primary tab might fall under the roof of the promotion because of its content. Now the trick here is just drag the message to the desired tab. That is the way you learn the engine and increase its intelligence to get the message in the right place next time.
So what are you waiting for, start now and make sure it performs better with every post. In a few days, you would see your messages organized eloquently.
Conclusion
The feature has been out for quite some time. And I hope it is already in your account. I’ve been on it for a little over a month now and love the new experience. That said, there are many who don’t like the change. If you’re one of them, now you know how to take them out.
