GMAIL Priority Inbox - A new feature

Gmail has come up with a new feature called Prioritize your Inbox which is in beta state. This would really help not to miss the important emails from the other junk emails which we generally recieve.

Most of you would have see Prioritize your inbox link inside your gmail account.


What doest this do. When you click on the link it show a video tutorial to use it and gives a Try now button. When you click on it it show the list of some emails.




You can see two sections one as Important and the other as Not important. You can check the email and decide whether its important or not by using the add and remove signs. Once you are done with choosing click on the Goto Priority Inbox button.

Now you see a different version of your gmail with section's as Important and Not Important.

The emails which you added as Important are displayed on the Important section and rest of the emails are under Everything Else section.



Now you see two controls to Mark your email as Important and Not Important. For example I choose the mail from Gmail as Not Important and click on the Mark as Not Important button it moves the email to the Everything Else section.




From now on the emails coming will go throught this filter and displayed in the appropriate section.



Now there is no chance to miss the important emails. Because the important mails will be present on top of your inbox under the Important Section.Yes ofcourse there are other ways to achieve the same by creating filters and directing it to different folders. But this feature seems to be more user friendly as its just one click to choose if the email is important or not.
