CHAPTER 9: Email on Your DROID
201
Priority Inbox
Google introduced a new feature called the
Priority Inbox.
What this is meant to do is
filter your important email from what some call bacn . Bacn (pronounced “bacon”)
messages are those newsletters, alerts, and coupons that you did at some point sign up
to receive and you probably do want to read, just not right now. They’re not really spam,
but they’re not really important. They’re bacn.
The Priority Inbox flags important, unread messages and displays them at the top of
your Gmail inbox on the Web. You can train Gmail to better recognize which messages
are important and which are not by flagging them, and you can
customize the Priority Inbox to also separate items with specific labels, as shown earlier
in Figure 9–1.
Behind the scenes, this is really just a new way to display a label or star.
Labels
Many email accounts work by allowing you to place email messages in folders. Gmail
would prefer you use labels. What is the difference? A single piece of email can exist
only in a single folder. You’d have to copy an email message for it to be both in the
“work” and “tax related” folders, but it can have multiple labels.
Use labels to organize your messages by topic. You can click one of the labels on the
left side of the screen (as shown in Figure 9–1) in order to view only messages with that
particular label, including messages that have been archived.
Gmail automatically creates the following labels:
Inbox
Buzz
Starred
Chats
Sent Mail
Drafts
All Mail
Spam
Trash
You can create other labels as needed. We sometimes set up temporary labels for
upcoming conferences or events and then remove or hide the labels after the
conference.
