Part One - Styling your Inbox - How Do You Want It to Look
With GMail, you have a few different option on how you want your inbox to display. For starters, there five options that you can choose from. The default option, creates tabs for your email and begins the process of sorting the email for you. The next option, Importance First, using artificial intelligence to sort your mail based on your previous history. If a message is deemed important, it will be placed on the top. If not, it will be sorted to the bottom.
The next option is unread first. This option, sorts your mail by if you have read the mail or not. If you have, it goes to the bottom. If you have not, it will be sorted to the top. This is one way to be sure that you do not miss important emails. Google also offers you an opportunity to mark emails as important. Using the star system, Google offers that as a way to sort your mail. While this is nice, it does rely upon your actions to work. Finally, priority inbox is the final option. Priority inbox creates markers, again based on AI and previous actions, to try and prioritize your inbox.
While each option has benefits and drawbacks, I wanted to build a chart that shows you below some of the pros and cons, at least in my mind, of each type of inbox.
