GMail will save your Attention
August 31, 2010 | Author: Adam Levine
Attention - is more precious resource than time. And e-mail - is a black hole, which draws your attention. While spending just a few minutes to check your inbox, you can spend a lot of (units) of attention - tire your brain and significantly reduce its efficiency (especially if you use to check your email every half an hour). Until now, GMail users had some advantage in this issue. GMail provides, perhaps the world's best spam filter. Besides, tags, stars, customizable filters, discussion threads help to make the mailbox more clear. But nowadays, when an average office worker receives 110 emails per day - it's not enough. That is why the GMail developers came up with the new revolutionary GMail feature - Priority Inbox .
Those who activate this feature, will have the mailbox divided into 3 sections:
- Important and unread messages
- Starred (with spot on)
- Others
The first section contains the most important messages. Priority will be determined automatically based on several factors: the history of correspondence with the contact, how often you open emails from this contact, the keywords in the message text that are usually found in the messages you read. Thus, opening your GMail, you will immediately see the important messages, and don't need to look for them in the long message list. Unimportant emails will go to Others. If GMail has made a mistake, you can mark a message as important or unimportant and next time it will be taken into account when processing emails from that address.
The middle section shows all the starred emails - which is also very convenient. Because until now they went down and often were forgotten.
The Priority Inbox feature will appear in all GMail accounts during this week.
