Gmail recently introduced a powerful new feature called Priority Inbox.
The whole goal of Priority Inbox is to help you see your urgent and important emails first — so they don’t get buried in an avalanche of less important offers, newsletters, and subscriptions.
I’ve just activated Priority Inbox in my own Gmail account and I already love it. It’s a big improvement over the “single inbox” concept. Here’s a screen shot of what my inbox looks like now (last names are blacked out to protect privacy).
And here’s a quick little video (only 1:54) that shows you how activating Priority Inbox can help solve email clutter.
If you’re a heavy Gmail user and get a lot of email (like me), then Priority Inbox may help you quite a bit.

Nifty Ryan – do you forward email from other domains to GMail or handle those in separate email accounts?
Most of my emails forward to my Gmail account. I have one that feeds to Outlook, but I almost never check it.
Excellent video very interesting post thanks for update Gmail priority inbox is excellent awesome feature in gmail.
Yikes… over 2k in your inbox!
I can’t wait to start using Priority… although it’s not showing up in mine for some reason. I wonder if they gave people access to it who have tons and tons of emails…
What you didn’t see is that there are actually more than 33,000 emails in my inbox — only 2,600 that are unread. :-)
I saw a link up near Settings this morning advertising the new feature. So maybe they’re rolling it out slowly across different accounts.
That’s crazy…
That’s exactly why I just unsubscribed to literally about 2 dozen newsletters from various marketers (kept yours though!)
Yea Google usually rolls it out slowly. I just wish I was on the early-bird list! :)

I just did a Google search and it looks like Priority Inbox was just introduced August 30, 2010, so it’s only been a few days. Maybe they’ll roll out fast.
My business partner & friend, Rick Butts turned me on to your post here. Maybe he’s dropping me a hint? LOL Looks like I’ll be giving priority email a try!
I’ve been using a CRM-like tool called Relenta because it allows me to set up multiple identities and manage all emails from one account – so I can be Title A at Company A (and respond from that address) and then Title B at Company B (and reply from that email address) but do it all from one spot –
Does GMail let you do that? The cost certainly is a plus, and they’re integrated with BaseCamp, which I’m thinking about adapting for Project Management.
Thanks for the insights Ryan! Always enjoy getting mail from you!
