Working with Priority Inbox
If you have configured Gmail on the web to show Priority Inbox, you can configure
Gmail on your tablet to show it as well. You can also set Priority Inbox as your
default inbox.
If you receive a great deal of email, Priority Inbox can help you get through it
faster, by separating what’s important from what’s not so important. Gmail does
this by analyzing your new messages to predict what’s important, considering
things like how you’ve treated similar messages in the past, how directly the
message is addressed to you, and many other factors. You also teach Gmail what
kinds of messages are important to you as you use it.
For more information about Priority Inbox, including how to show it in Gmail on the
web so you can use it on your tablet, visit Gmail on the web.
Open Priority Inbox Priority Inbox is a list of conversations that Gmail or you have labeled important
and that are also in your Inbox: they are new or you haven’t archived them or
moved them to another label by hand or with a filter.
