What Is The Benefit?

By labelling emails with different versions by category / subject type you can then apply a filter to your emails so all the ones relating to a particular subject end up in that folder.

Ingredients To Make This Work

You will have to set up:-
1. 2-Factor authentication
2. Generated a 16 digit password – which is different to the password you created when you set up the account. The 16 digit password is all lowercase and Google generates this for you and you must record it.

Notepad could be a good place to record this it comes in 4 blocks of 4 which you then have to extract / close up the spaces to make it a 16-digits in one block. This password cannot be recovered if you lose it. If you do lose it you have to delete it and create a new one. You also need to give it a name. Should you have more than one App Password.
The two-factor authentication is typically linked to your mobile phone number.
