Thank you very much for the thorough reply, Andy. Just wondering if you are (or were) a teacher because of your clarity in explaining where the * Miscategorization* option is. I just couldn't remember (or figure out, obviously) where it was even though I have used it in the past. Even though this wasn't vital, I am inquisitive by nature and appreciate your putting that to rest.
Funny thing: Even though all this labeling is redundant, I do like the new Inbox categories. My other Gmail friends don't know about it yet; I did only because of the Official Gmail Blog. Do you know if this is going to be introduced "at large," perhaps in the same manner a the new interface has been? And will the latter eventually be required? How many more questions do I get?[?] *~Diane* * * On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 7:14 AM, Andy <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, Jul 7, 2013 at 3:12 AM, DEP/Dodo <[email protected]> wrote: > > The original Smartlabels consisted of Bulk, Notification or Forum.
