Google Priority Inbox




Printer-friendly versionPrint

Google is rolling out a new feature to Gmail this week they are calling Priority Inbox. It’s an automated method for ranking and determining which emails in your inbox are important to you, and thus float to the top and are marked, while less important ones aren’t given prominence in the email window. It uses your email history (who you read, didn’t read, responded to, etc.) as measures, and allows you to manually rank as well to increase its filters.

Think of it like an inverse spam filter. Instead of filtering out the bad stuff, it filters up the good stuff!
