What to know about Images in Gmail
How Gmail helps make images safe - But still you may wish to change your settings for privacy.
Google scans images for signs of suspicious content before you receive them.
These scans make images safer because:
Senders can’t use image loading to get information about your computer or location.
Senders can’t use the image to set or read cookies in your browser.
Gmail checks the images for known harmful software.
Sometimes, senders may know whether you've opened an email that has an image. If you want to control this behavior see this article. You should also know that when you set the option to not display, you can be the one in control and from any email received you can select show images. This way in the future, the images from those senders will be displayed. Remember if a sender knows you opened an email by an image, they also know the email they sent to is a valid and working email address.
Gmail scans every message for suspicious content. If Gmail thinks a sender or message is suspicious, images aren’t shown and you’ll be asked if you want to see the images.

There are two ways to create Labels:
You can create a label from the menu on the left had side of your Gmail account. Look for the drop down titled 'More labels'. From there you at the bottom you should see 'manage labels' and 'create new label'. From there you can name and create your label.
Once you have checked off an email you want to create a label for find the file folder to 'move' your email. From that drop down menu you can find the 'create' and 'manage' labels links.
Once you have created a label if you click on the drop down arrow just to the right of the label you can edit/ manage that label.
