For those of you who have embraced Google’s mighty cloud of web and mobile productivity products, you’re surely familiar with Gmail labels, Google’s answer to the traditional “Folder” model of older email programs such as Outlook. Gmail’s powerful search makes Folders seem pretty ancient, but it isn’t perfect. Search + Labels, though, are a powerful combination.
