Mountain View, California -- Google has took the wraps off a new tool late Monday for its free Web-based Gmail service that helps users sorts incoming email into three sections, based on their perceived importance and steer clear of drowning in the floods of digital messages that have become part of modern life.
The new service called “Priority Inbox,” for its Gmail will be released with the beta, or test, label and is being described for now as “experimental” by the company. The Priority Inbox in Gmail segregates incoming messages into one of three categories. An automated program separates “Important and unread” messages from those that are “Starred” and “Everything else.”
“Gmail employs a variety of marks to predict which messages are important,” Google software engineer Doug Aberdeen said in a blog post.
