Simply open the e-mail from there, then faucet the three-dot menu icon above it and choose “Change labels.” Discover and choose “Notify,” and increase: You’re good to go.
With any electronic mail you’ve acquired otherwise you’re replying to, it’s even simpler: Faucet that very same three-dot icon within the upper-right nook whereas viewing the e-mail, then choose “Change labels” and faucet “Notify.”
