Read Later is for emails that you don’t need to act on now, are low priority, and therefore ones for which you won’t create a to-do or reminder. Read Later gives you a way to clear them from your inbox but always find them later by going to the ‘Read Later’ label, or by searching for them. Here's how you can remove an email from Read Later: In your desktop Gmail, go to the Read Later label, and remove the label. If you remove both the Read Later label and the Handle label, the email will still be recoverable in your All Mail folder.
