Working with Priority Inbox
If you have configured Gmail on the web to show Priority Inbox, you can configure
Gmail on your phone 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 phone, visit Gmail on the web.
