After last week’s addition of phone features within Gmail, we really did not expect to see anything brand new from the Gmail development team for at least a couple of weeks.
Imagine our surprise when Gmail announced a really useful feature: automaticemail sorting…which means important emails can be listed first in our inbox, followed by sale flyers and newsletters.
Over the next week, a new tab will appear in our Gmail settings. Between Web Clips and Labs, the tab will be called Priority Inbox. Clicking this tab allows Gmail users to decide when and how to use Priority Inbox.
Priority Inbox then sorts our email based for us, displaying the most important emails at the top of the list. Gmail decides which emails are most important by our patterns.
If you routinely open and reply to email from friends and family, those emails will appear at the top of the list. If you routinely delete email from your boss without reading it, those messages move to the bottom of the list.
The emails are then broken into sections depending on what you do with them. Emails you want to re-read later, add a start and they will appear in a special section beneath unread, important emails. You can create your own sections if the pre-installed ones do not suit your needs.
Priority Inbox is fully trainable. As messages arrive, you can teach Gmail which emails are important by clicking a golden arrow beside the message. You can demote an email’s importance by clicking a white email. Priority Inbox then remembers the selection for future, similar messages.
All Gmail users should have access to Priority Inbox within a week. For now, if you do not currently have access, there is a cute video on the Priority Inbox Web pagethat introduces the service. Those who already have access to the service may find the instructions for the service on helpful in selecting customization options.
