"Gmail's inbox has changed again. To help you navigate the changes, we've taken a closer look at the service's new customizable tabs. \nDesigned to make your inbox more approachable, tabs organize your incoming mail into categories, giving you an at-a-glance look at what's new. \nSee also: 10 Dead Simple Gmail Tips, Tricks &amp; Shortcuts\nSee below for our in-depth explanation of the new default tabs, how to personalize the tabs to suit you and \u2014 if really dislike the new look \u2014 how to disable them completely. \nTake a look and then let us know in the comments below how you use Gmail tabs. \nNew Gmail Tabs: An Overview \n\n\n\n\n\"We get a lot of different types of email: messages from friends, social notifications, deals and offers, confirmations and receipts, and more,\" Google Product Manager Itamar Gilad wrote in a blog post as the new Gmail inbox was revealed. \n\"All of these emails can compete for our attention and make it harder to focus on the things we need to get done,\" he added. \"Sometimes it feels like our inboxes are controlling us, rather than the other way around.\" \nTo remedy inbox fatigue, Gmail divided our inboxes into logical \"tabs\" that separate our incoming mail into categories. Click each tab heading for a quick look at what's new. \nThe New Tabs \n\n\n\n\nThere are five new tabs, described here in Google's words: \n\nPrimary: Messages from friends and family, as well as any other messages that don't appear in other tabs. \nPromotions: Your deals, offers and other promotional emails. \nSocial Messages: From social networks, media-sharing sites, online dating services, gaming platforms and other social websites. \nUpdates: Notifications such as confirmations, receipts, bills and statements. \nForums: Messages from online groups, discussion boards and mailing lists. \n\nCustomization Options\n\n\n\n\nWhen the new inbox rolls out to you, it implements default tabs \u2014 ours contained \"Primary,\" \"Social\" and \"Promotions.\"\nYou can edit the tabs to show categories you'd like. To do this, click on the \"+\" sign to the right of your new tabs to bring up a pop-up menu. \nFrom here, check or uncheck boxes next to the tabs you want in your inbox. Click \"Save\" to set up any changes you've made. \nMoving Emails to Different Tabs\n\n\n\n\nOnce you've grabbed the tabs you want, you can \"teach\" Gmail to automatically send emails from certain senders into particular tabs. \nTo do this, right-click on an email that has been filed under the incorrect tab heading. Hover over the \"Move to tab\" option that appears in the pop-up box, and select the correct tab. \nAlternatively, you can drag and drop messages to another tab. \nGmail will then ask you if you want it to \"Do this for future messages from [email@example.com]?\" Click \"yes\" and suture mails from that address will auto-filter into your preferred tab. \nDisabling Tabs\nIf you dislike the new tabs functionality and want to return to the traditional inbox layout, click the \"+\" icon to the right of the tab heading, uncheck every tab box (apart from \"Primary\" which is a default) and your inbox will revert to the old design.\nTo reinstate tabs at any time, click the cog settings button and choose \"Configure inbox\" to bring them back. \nImage: Mashable"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
