Use Gmail Labels
Gmail saves all mail in one box, but you can add labels that allow you to sort your Gmail conversation
threads. For example, when a new thread starts with a received mail, the label "Inbox" is
automatically added to the thread. By then adding the label "travel," all threads with "travel" are
shown in a list.
