Google Introduces Priority Inbox Filter
There are millions of active email accounts, all with varying levels of usage and incoming mail, priority mail addresses the issue many users have of simply getting too much mail to effectively use. Priority mail will isolate mail that you frequently read or reply to as well as now isolate mail that you ‘star’ for later use, while still keeping all the other messages for you to look through when you get time. Not everyone gets hundreds of emails per day, but even the casual email user can benefit from this feature.
As messages come in, Gmail automatically flags some of them as important. Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important, including the people you email most (if you email Bob a lot, a message from Bob is probably important) and which messages you open and reply to (these are likely more important than the ones you skip over). And as you use Gmail, it will get better at categorizing messages for you. You can help it get better by clicking the or buttons at the top of the inbox to correctly mark a conversation as important or not important. (You can even set up filters to always mark certain things important or unimportant, or rearrange and customize the three inbox sections.)
