Google has recently developed a method to help Gmail users sort their mail with the beta rollout of Priority Inbox. The new, experimental process allows the spam filters prioritize important e-mails and sort them accordingly so that users are not inundated by loads of messages. Priority Inbox splits e-mails into “Important and unread”, “Starred” and “Everything else”. These messages are sorted based on how often a specific sender is e-mailed, e-mails that are often replied to and even by a user’s own input. Two buttons, marked with a plus and a minus sign, are meant to change the automatic priority Gmail has given to certain e-mails and addresses. Users are given the possibility to customize the filters to mark certain messages as unimportant or important, but also to rearrange the three inbox sections.

The beta version of the Priority Inbox will soon be available to Gmail users and people who use Google Apps.
