I will try to walk through the scenario which leads up to my questions.Steps:I get an email in my inboxI drag it over to a label.  So the email is removed from the inbox and shows up when I click on the label.Now, when I am looking at the detailed message and I see the labels listed at the top of the mail.  If I click the X on the right of the label in the email to remove it, that works but my question is :Where does this email go now?  I don't see it in the inbox, it is no longer in the view of that label.Where does an email go in this situation?
Where does an email go after removing a label in Gmail?
gmail;gmail labels
All mail in Gmail is in the All Mail label, unless the message is deleted. Even Inbox is just a label. When you add or remove a label, the email is still in All Mail, it just also shows up in the other label if it's labeled.Note: even All Mail is a label, it just is the only one that can't be removed (except by deleting the message).
