 Forders vs. Labels

Gmail uses Labels instead of Folders. The concept is similar, and you
will still have the ability to see grouped e-mails using Labels.

Observations:
Select the option Create New
Label on the left of your screen.
Write the name of a label that
identifies the group of e-mails
youre grouping, then drag the
desired e-mails under this new
label. E-mails may also be
Labeled with a specific name and
left in the inbox.
E-mails that have been sent
can only be labeled. They
cannot be dragged into any
group of labels.

 Global Address List

The list is composed of all USAID employees and most of the
Department of State employees. Because some DOS employees
have been left out, a GADGET was created where the DOS
employees who were missing can be found. When searching for a
DOS employee, it is more convenient to search it under the
GADGET located at the end of the menu on the left of your screen
(icono de 3 puntos suspensivos). By clicking it, a label will appear
with the name of DOS contacts.
