One of the biggest and yet unnecessary barriers mentioned when moving to Google Apps and specifically Gmail, is that there are no Folders. We’re confident that given enough time and brain power, we could come up with a use case that makes using Folders more valuable than Labels…but it would be a waste of energy. If Folders are your kryptonite, then go ahead and keep using Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook but we’re warning you, Labels take the pain out of email management and give you hours back in your day.
Don’t believe us? How many minutes a day, hours per week, days per year do you spend pursuing a clean and tidy inbox? How many times have you come back from vacation to an overflowing inbox and were tempted to “select all” “delete”?
Recently, we’ve come across a stream of people that were hell bent on using Folders, oblivious to the power of Labels or seem too busy managing Folders to realize there’s a faster way of doing things. If you think you have a Folder structure that can’t be made more efficient with Labels, shoot us an email and tell us about it…we’re always up for a good challenge.
