Knowledge - Transfers
After a long time I got a chance to get on in the net and do my Rnd with stuff. First thing I had in my mind is to take a good look at Google’s answer to “information overload” in their mail Gmail.
First thing I did I went in the official gmail blog and get an overview of what it’s about and how it works. What I learnt from there is they have extended gmail’s filter functionality “So we’ve evolved Gmail’s filter to address this problem and extended it to not only classify outright spam, but also to help users separate this “bologna” from the important stuff.”
We must all be agreeing that Gmail’s spam filtering is quite strong and does depend upon how users are treating their mails for example the people you email most, which messages you open and reply to. This is instinctive Gmail. A user can customize the priority inbox as well by clicking on or .
After I went through the article I directly went to my mail and clicked on “New! Priority Inbox” link on the top and a screen appeared and I gave certain criterions to sort my mail. After applying the feature? My mailbox got segregated into three parts
- Important and unread
- Starred
- Everything else
Each having options to show mails from inbox, different labels you’ve created, starred, sent mail,
number of mails in each category, hiding the section that is empty, change inbox settings. Moreover a new feature search by importance which searches the read unread by using is: important in the gmail search.
All the features seems quite useful as from the first look but how this feature turns out will be evident from the long run as with this feature how we use our mail will change and according to it our mail box also! Thumbs up to Google for this new feature.
