There are now hundreds of email services on the web, but the one we use the most is Gmail. Gmail has more features than any other email service, and it’s free, which is the best part.
If you use Gmail to send and receive emails, you may know how important it is to keep track of your emails. Yes, Gmail has a lot of ways to organise your emails, like sorting them by label or colour, but what if you want to organise your emails in the Gmail mobile app?
The Android version of Gmail doesn’t have any email management features, but it does have a widget that will help you keep your inbox organised. With the Gmail app for Android, you can put a widget on your home screen to read emails without having to open the Gmail app.
