Get through your email faster with Gmail Priority Inbox
September 2, 2010 
Priority InboxBeta
Welcome to Priority Inbox! By automatically separating out your most important messages, Priority Inbox makes it easy for you to read and respond to the messages that matter.
Get through your email faster
 |
Try reading and replying to the messages in the "Important and Unread" section first. Mark anything that requires follow-up with a star, then go through the "Everything Else" section. If you leave Priority Inbox, you can return to it by clicking the link next to Inbox on the side navigation of Gmail.
How it worksGmail’s servers look at several types of information to identify the email that’s important to you, including who you email and chat with most, how often you email with these people, and which keywords appear frequently in the emails you read. |
Train Priority Inbox
If Priority Inbox makes a mistake, you can use the 
buttons to correctly mark a conversation as important or not important, and Priority Inbox will quickly learn what you care about most.
And more…
- Customize Priority Inbox:
You can change what type of email you see in each section (like switching the "Important and Unread" section to just "Important"). Just click on the section headers or visit the Priority Inbox tab under Settings and choose to "customize inbox groups."
- Use filters to guarantee importance:
If you want to be absolutely sure that some messages are always marked as important (like email from your boss), you can set up a filter and choose "Always mark it as important."
- Search by importance:
If you want to see all the messages that have been marked as important, both read and unread, do a Gmail search for "is:important."
- Switching back to your old inbox:
If Priority Inbox isn’t for you, you can easily switch back to your normal inbox by clicking "Inbox" on the left or hide Priority Inbox altogether from Gmail Settings.
To learn more about managing your email with Priority Inbox, check out the Gmail Help Center.

Make Free Phone Calls from Gmail
August 26, 2010Sent to you by Tim via Google Reader:
Make Free Phone Calls from Gmail
via Google Operating System by Alex Chitu on 8/25/10
Gmail added a long-awaited feature: making phone calls. If you install the voice and video chat plug-in, you can call phones in the US and Canada for free. You can also call in other countries, but you’ll have to pay. Fortunately, Google’s rates are really low and the service is cheaper than Skype.
“Calls to the U.S. and Canada will be free for at least the rest of the year and calls to other countries will be billed at our very low rates. We worked hard to make these rates really cheap with calls to the U.K., France, Germany, China, Japan — and many more countries — for as little as $0.02 per minute,” informs Google.
If you have a Google Voice phone number (anyone in the US can get one), you can also receive phone calls in Gmail. Now that Google Voice integrates with Gmail, a lot more people will use it.
To try the new feature, make sure that your Gmail interface language is set to English (US) and that the voice and video chat plug-in is installed. You get an initial calling credit ($0.10), but unfortunately you can only add credit if you’re in the US.
