Labels are like email folders, only better. By adding a label to a conversation, you get the benefits of folders. But Google takes the concept one step further. You can add multiple labels to a conversation -- something you can't do with folders. Once you've created a label, you can view all the conversations with that label by searching or by selecting the label in the navigation bar.
If you decide that you want to remove a label from a message or conversation, just follow these steps:
1. Click the label in the green 'Labels' box on the left side of your screen in which the message or conversation is categorized.
2. Select the message or conversation you would like to remove by checking the box next to the sender's name.
3. Click the 'Remove label "[label name]"' box along the top or bottom of your screen.
Any message or conversation you remove a label from remains in your inbox, or in All Mail, depending on its original location.
