I am using the Labs feature "Nested Labels". I can easily add a new label to an email and "nest it" under another existing label...

But what I would like to do is go through current labels and assign them as nested under some other label.

I'm not finding the answer in the Help section for Gmail.

Do any of you know how to do it?

Thanks!

I think I know.

Click on the Settings "Gear". Select "Mail Settings", select "Labels", select "Edit" action for each label (one at a time), click the "Nest Label Under" box and select the parent label name from the dropdown menu.

Hope this works for you,

That worked. Thank you. I did not previously try the "Edit" link as I thought that it would only change the name of the label.

Thank you, Wally!
