TIL file: Gmail custom inboxes
Stumbled over this feature. Why I like it:
- I can easily see what needs my attention right away.
- I can choose panel contents rather than let GMail choose for me.
- Example:
in:unreads -category:promotions
To try it go to Gmail Settings > See all settings > Inbox tab > Inbox type > Multiple Inboxes.
- Custom Inbox queries can use any GMail search/filter syntax. (Refine Searches in GMail) For example, I could create an inbox to see emails from Mom :-).
- “Priority Inbox” gives some of the same benefits but is less customizable. (How to choose the best inbox type for your needs)
- Feature not available on mobile.
- Learn about inbox types: Change your Gmail inbox layout
- Change your inbox type: Personalize your inbox
