Add A Second Priority Inbox To Gmail For Your Most Important Contacts

We’ve shown you a few ways to make the best of Gmail’s priority inbox, but blogger Fred Wilson reminds us of another lesser-known feature: You can actually add a fourth pane to your inbox view for any extra labels you may want.

It isn’t like adding an inbox to the Multiple Inboxes lab, which doesn’t currently work if you have Priority Inbox enabled. The only difference is that you can only add one extra inbox, which Wilson recommends using as a “super priority inbox”: a label that’s always applied to a few contacts that take precedence above all the others. It’s an interesting use of the feature if you have one or two people (like your boss) for whom you always need to be alerted to emails. You can read more at the link below, and if you have your own use for this fourth inbox pane, let us know about it in the comments.
