<P> The Gmail user interface initially differed from other webmail systems with its focus on search and conversation threading of emails, grouping several messages between two or more people onto a single page, an approach that was later copied by its competitors . Gmail's user interface designer, Kevin Fox, intended users to feel as if they were always on one page and just changing things on that page, rather than having to navigate to other places . </P> <P> Gmail's interface also makes use of' labels' (tags)--that replace the conventional folders and provide a more flexible method of organizing email; filters for automatically organizing, deleting or forwarding incoming emails to other addresses; and importance markers for automatically marking messages as' important' . </P> <P> In November 2011, Google began rolling out a redesign of its interface that "simplified" the look of Gmail into a more minimalist design to provide a more consistent look throughout its products and services as part of an overall Google design change . Major redesigned elements included a streamlined conversation view, configurable density of information, new higher - quality themes, a resizable navigation bar with always - visible labels and contacts, and better search . Users were able to preview the new interface design for months prior to the official release, as well as revert to the old interface, until March 2012, when Google discontinued the ability to revert and completed the transition to the new design for all users . </P> <P> In May 2013, Google updated the Gmail inbox with tabs which allow the application to categorize the user's emails . The five tabs are: Primary, Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums . In addition to customization options, the entire update can be disabled, allowing users to return to the traditional inbox structure . </P>
