You can now create labels in Gmail with up to 225 characters. Previously the old limit was 40 characters, which wasn’t enough for some people who had switched from Outlook or accessed Gmail through IMAP with complex folder structures.
If you also use the Nested Labels Lab, Gmail will now shorten the label name so as not to clutter up your interface.
