It seems Big Google really try to optimize Gmail to new level these days. I say that since not so long after integrate the Gmail Voice Call, Google puts another new feature into Gmail which is Gmail “Priority Inbox” feature. “Priority Inbox” feature is intended to put the important message up top. It is more like to highlight the certain messages that classified as important messages. The highlight process filter is done automatically by Gmail “Priority Inbox”. However, Gmail users is allowed to customize the “Priority Inbox” base on categories.
It means that Gmail users can choose their favorite categories to be shown in the most top of Gmail Messages – to highlight the message on those chosen categories as most important messages. Once this “Priority Inbox” is enabled, A “Priority Inbox” link will appear above of regular Inbox which means it is easy to switch back to the regular Inbox if needed. Gmail users also can choose whether the “Priority Inbox” or regular Inbox as default when sign-in to Gmail account. To enjoy this service, Gmail users need to click on the link of this feature that appears in their Gmail page – at the left side-bar to be precise. The Gmail “Priority Inbox” link is labeled as “New! Priority Inbox”.
The “Priority Inbox” activation link should be already appeared in some of Gmail accounts. For some other Gmail acounts, the link may appear in a couple of weeks. It is said that “Priority Inbox” feature works by using certain set of algorithm that work together to analyze the Gmail users behaviour in Email reading. It means that “Priority Inbox” will take a deep look of your Email reading behaviour and decide what kind/type of message that should mark as important messages. As example, the messages thread that you read often or some type of messages that you response quickly will be “marked” as important by “Priority Inbox” filter.
Of course, Gmail users freely to customize the “Priority Inbox” filter result. We can use the plus and minus buttons on top of the page to tell Google that the messages is less important so should take out from the “Priority Inbox”. In my opinion, This new Gmail feature is very useful to combat the Email messages overload so the most important Email messages is never missed. As bloggers, This “Priority Inbox” feature is even more important since bloggers usually utilize their Gmail account into maximum which means there are so many blogging related messages – such as Google Alerts messages or Newsletter messages – appear in our Gmail Inbox each days.
That’s all update this time, wait for next update!
[...] The Must Be Read:Gmail Priority Inbox [...]
exactly , for us every mail is important coz we use the internet so much compared to a casual web user … it would be better if google introduces even more advance features to trap SPAM …. just like it bans us from adding friends in Facebook …
I thought I liked it at first, but now I want to switch back. I’ll mark something as Priority, and then it disappears. It is doing strange things to my email. Now I just have to figure out how to go back to normal gmail. I’m having trouble figuring out how to do that!
haha , google must know that its useless to just change the way we use Gmail. Its so important to us , there’s no time to learn the basics . Its already so simple .. why complicate …
Yeah, it seems as you said.
Me too. Since almost all the email is important to me, it no use for me.
I just checked this new. But seem dont work well for me.
i like random email not priority inbox
Indeed, it can lead to disaster.
bad for those who add extra twinkles to their mails
… like me
i have just tried google priority inbox and noticed a serious problem, this can arise *if you are having huge number of starred mail in your inbox*.
In such a case your *important and unread mail will come over top* and that’s ok, but *places for other unread mails that will come below starred mail will decreases*, so yet it is organized but *you have to check other pages* too if you are having huge number of mails daily.
So i will say for few user it will be organized but for few it can cause panic.
Yes, it is. However, if your priority is set right, it will help to always read the important email while busy.
Just checked, but not interested in this. i like old gmail.
In contrary, I kind like it.
