Gmail to Make Email Sorting a Breeze with ‘Priority Inbox’

In this day and age, who hasn’t felt the sting of email overload? Thousands of messages flooding into your inbox, with no way to immediately determine what’s important and what’s not. It’s time consuming to sort through the clutter, but the always-innovative Google is rolling out a new feature to help clear the way.

Gmail has coined the phrase “bologna” to describe all the non-important mail we receive. It’s not Spam, it’s just bologna, and the new system will help relegate it to the back burner, where it belongs.

According to the official Google blog, the system will filter your inbox into three sections: “Important and Unread”, “Starred” and “Everything Else”. The brilliant part is that Gmail will start filtering your emails for you, based on a whole host of criteria, including who you email most often, and which emails you open and reply to. There are also buttons to help you assist the system in categorizing the mail, which will allow you to mark certain conversations as important or not important.

This system will be rolling out to all Gmail users (including apps users!) over the next week or so, according to the blog. So be on the lookout, and let us know how you like the new system!
