All actions Forage takes in your inbox are reversible. So if you decide that you don't want to use Forage anymore, you can bring your inbox back to how you like it.

Forage also does not conflict with Gmail filters you may already have set up in your email account. For example, if you have a filter that applies a label, that filter will continue to work alongside the Auto Labels that Forage applies.

Forage sets up labels in your inbox

Gmail labels are treated like folders where emails can be organized. Most email apps that support Gmail accounts visualize labels using the folder metaphor. When an email is given a label, it will be shown in the folder for that label. Any email can have multiple labels and therefore be added to multiple folders.

When you connect Forage to your Gmail account, it creates a few labels. There is a main folder named Forage Mail and a few sub-labels (one for each Auto Label that Forage handles for you).

You can see these labels in your sidebar in Gmail and in most other mail apps that support Gmail accounts.
