GMail Introduces Priority Inbox

jason-za writes with this quote from a Google announcement: "People tell us all that time that they're getting more and more mail and often feel overwhelmed by it all. We know what you mean — here at Google we run on email. Our inboxes are slammed with hundreds, sometimes thousands of messages a day — mail from colleagues, from lists, about appointments and automated mail that's often not important. It's time-consuming to figure out what needs to be read and what needs a reply. Today, we're happy to introduce Priority Inbox (in beta) — an experimental new way of taking on information overload in Gmail."

Gmail Still Sucks

[Snaffler]

Until Google provides an option to turn off conversations, I'll still just forward all gmail to another account so I can make sure I don't miss something. I suppose with this new option old conversations will get pulled up to the top if you tell Google that the topic or person is important, but I can't say that most important e-mails can be identified beforehand like Google hopes.
