Gmail’s Priority Inbox + Organizer is a winning combination

August 31 2010, 1:48pm

Today, Gmail started rolling out a new feature called Priority Inbox that figures out what emails in your Inbox are important and bubbles them to the top. It’s similar to how Gmail automatically marks emails as spam, but in reverse.

The Priority Inbox does a great job of finding the important emails and moving them to the top of your Inbox. But what about Everything else? It’s still in your Inbox. That’s where Gmail Organizer fits in. Organizer is a great complement to Priority Inbox.
Organizer does a wonderful job identifying emails that aren’t from real people. This includes newsletters, coupons, receipts, alerts, and other automatically generated emails. Organizer find these emails, labels them by category (Shopping, News, etc.) and archives them. This means, they’re out of your Inbox. A Daily Digest email summarizes every email that Organizer finds the previous day. Instead of 10, 20, or more emails under Everything else, it is all summarized in a single email.
Gmail’s Priority Inbox and Organizer is a powerful combination to keep your email overload in check. Your Priority Inbox keeps the emails you really want at the top. Organizer keeps the automated emails out of your Inbox altogether. All of this happens without setting up a single setting or filter.
Does your Gmail account have Priority Inbox yet? How has it changed the way you look at your email? Why not give Gmail Organizer a try to see how you truly can cure email overload today!
