Priority Inbox can help save you time if you’re overwhelmed with the
amount of email you get. It attempts to automatically identify your
important incoming messages and separates them out from everything else.
Gmail uses a variety of signals to prioritize your incoming messages,
including who you emailed most frequently and which messages you’ve
recently opened as opposed to which messages you’ve deleted.
Priority Inbox splits your inbox into three sections: “Important and unread,” “Starred” and “Everything else”:
As
messages come in, Gmail automatically flags some of them as important.
Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important,
including the people you email most (if you email Bob a lot, a message
from Bob is probably important) and which messages you open and reply to
(these are likely more important than the ones you skip over). And as
you use Gmail, it will get better at categorizing messages for you. You
can help it get better by clicking the
or 
buttons at the top of the inbox to correctly mark a conversation as
important or not important. (You can even set up filters to always mark
certain things important or unimportant, or rearrange and customize the
three inbox sections.)
After lots of internal testing here at
Google, as well as with Gmail and Google Apps users at home and at work,
we’re ready for more people to try it out. Priority Inbox will be
rolling out to all Gmail users, including those of you who use Google Apps, over the next week or so. Once you see the "New! Priority Inbox" link in the top right corner of your Gmail account (or the new Priority Inbox tab in Gmail Settings), take a look
