How do I see all my unread gmail at once?

How can I create a new folder in Gmail, like in Yahoo mail?

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.

aha now I get it. So I could have priority labels, or "answer" filters and then come back and answer later. So how do I attach an existing filter to an entry that just came in?
