Create and manage views
Views keep related email together so you can open one part of your inbox at a time.
Updated August 24, 2026
01
Create a view
In the sidebar, find Views and select Add view. Give the view a clear name, such as Receipts. Describe what belongs there or select Add specific rules, then select Create. Both sorting methods are optional.
02
Add email to a view
Open an email and select Add to view to choose where it belongs. You can select more than one view. Removing a view from the same menu removes its matching Gmail label from that conversation.
03
Reorder, rename, or recolor a view
Drag a view in the sidebar to change its position. Open its three-dot menu to move it one place at a time, rename it, or hide it. Select the colored bookmark to choose another color.
04
Hide or show a view
Choose Hide view when you no longer need a view in the sidebar. To bring it back, open the menu beside Views, select Show hidden views, then choose Show view.
05
Delete a view
Choose Delete from the view menu and review the confirmation. Deleting a view also removes its Gmail label and any Gmail filters that use it. The email itself is not deleted.
Good to know
Each view is backed by a Gmail label. Renaming or deleting a view changes that label too. Hiding a view affects only Mejl; its label, filters, and email stay unchanged.
