      Priority inbox is quite cool, I had been using it for quite a while and think it saves a lot of time. The only reason I keep it turned off most of the time is because I don’t receive too many emails. But during assignments when I get several emails I keep it turned on.

      Well, the addition of this feature has certainly helped a lot since everyday going through hundreds of mail is not possible. I really did not know how Google marked the importance of mails, this post cleared it all. Thanks Chetan

      I noticed over the years of using google for my mail, that this would happen in Gmail’s priority inbox that if you had previous conversations with those people. It does make it pretty simple to go through large amounts of mail.

      Though I saw this priority inbox option but I’s totally unaware about it’s working mechanism. Your detail illustration helps me to understand it clearly. Screenshots were more useful.
