In response to "I don't understand people that prefer folders vs. labels in Gmail. How is a label any different than a folder?" by oblique

The major drawback I have with labels is there's no easy way to hide everything that's labelled.

With folders things are out of sight until I want to look at them.

Responses:

In Gmail, you use the "Move To" drop down which labels and archives. For existing labelled items, just Archive it - oblique Oct 1, 07:34 6
- Oh, this is better than I remember. Cool. -- nm - Subversive Oct 1, 07:51
- so, it's two steps? see, it's not easier. (i don't care that much either way, but gmail isn't simpler/better) -- nm - Andie Oct 1, 07:36 4
  - No. In my Gmail (maybe a Labs feature you can turn on) there is a Move To dropdown that does both at once or you have the flexibility to do them - oblique Oct 1, 07:36 2
    - I agree with andrea, and also, if it's a labs feature I need to seek out, it's not intuitive enough for me. -- nm - amanda Oct 1, 07:43 1
      - It's not. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 07:44
  - It was once two steps. It is no longer. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 07:36
that's what archive is for. Label it and archive it and it's out of the way until you need it. -- nm - decline Oct 1, 07:34
"Archive". Hidden. -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 07:34
