Tip of the Week: How to Pre-Sort Your Gmails with Priority Inbox

Gmail allows users to have their inboxes automatically sorted into different categories, making it far easier to accomplish the fabled “inbox zero.” This is called “priority inbox,” and it is remarkably, even laughably, simple to set up.

Let’s go over how.

How to Turn on Priority Inbox

The process is as follows:

1. Access Gmail and, from there, Settings.
2. In the Quick Settings window that appears, scroll down to find the Inbox type section.
3. You’ll find a few options, including Priority.
4. You can accept the priority settings as they are or adjust them via Customize.
5. Select Save Changes, and enjoy!

What Does Priority Inbox Do?

The priority inbox divides your email into three separate sections to help you keep things relatively organized: important unread messages, starred messages, and everything else.

Hopefully, priority inbox (or even one of the other options) can help you and your team better manage your email messages.
