HOW TO USE GMAIL PRIORITY INBOX

Priority Inbox filters your mail for you by pushing critical messages to the top of your inbox and segregating them from everything else. Gmail prioritizes your messages depending on the messages you open, the persons you frequently communicate with, and the terms and content in the messages. If you're inundated with emails and don't have time to read them all, Priority Inbox is very useful.

Which emails do you read?

Which emails do you respond to? Who do you send emails to and how often do you send them?

Keywords that appear frequently in emails that you read on a regular basis

Which emails do you highlight, which emails do you archive, which emails do you delete, and which emails do you manually label as important?

Which emails do you manually label as unimportant?
