You cannot create seperate folders in gmail
you can only put labels to perticular mails and then sort them according to their labels
this is known as KISS policy in gmail

In Gmail, you can't create new folders. Instead you create labels, which you then attach to individual conversations. The good thing about labels is that multiple labels can be tagged on a mail, something just not possible with the folder concept of Hotmail and others.
The labels are shown at the left side; attach them by using the combo box on top. You can also create filters to automatically label incoming mail.

Yeah but they should also offer a feature that labeled emails will not show up in Inbox...what's the use of labelling when the labelled emails too crowd the inbox. Please this sucks!

^^when applying filters u can set option not in inbox
My labelled mails all go in archives, as I've configured. Like piyush said use filters for that.navjotjsingh said:
Do this
1. Set the filter values as you like
2. Click 'Next Step'. Now you will get 5 options.
a. Skip the Inbox
b. Star it
c. Apply the label
d. forward it to <enter an email address>
e. Delete it
Use whichever all options you like. It will also show mails already received, that match this criteria, and you can select 'Apply filter to 'n' conversations below. So, that those received in the past needn't be handled manually later.

Are Gmail Labels Better Than Folders?
What makes Gmail's labels better than folders is that you can "put" any message in any number of folders. An email can belong to the "most urgent" messages as well as to a particular project at work, for example. It can carry the "needs follow-up" and "family" labels at the same time, and you will find it under both labels.

Type the desired name for the label under Create a new label:.
Click Create.
To open a label:
›› Step by Step Screenshot Walkthrough
Expand the Labels box in the left column of Gmail (below the standard list of mailboxes).
Click the desired label.
To apply a label to a message (so the message shows up under the label):
›› Step by Step Screenshot Walkthrough
Check the message in the message list or open it.
Click the More Actions drop-down menu.

To remove a label from a message:
›› Step by Step Screenshot Walkthrough
