How to add or remove Gmail inbox’s categories & tabs

Emails in your inbox are sorted into different categories, like Primary, Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums. Categories help you sort your massages so you don't see all of them at one time. When you open your Gmail inbox, you'll see your Primary tab first. Call us at (866) 324-3042 for Gmail customer service
