Gmail Adds Multiple Inboxes

Gmail has added Multiple Inboxes, an experimental feature which makes it possible to have more then one inbox.

I'm seriously into filters and labels. All the email I get related to Flash goes under my "flash" label, everything about paragliding goes under "flying," and they all skip my inbox because that's how I like to stay organized. But when new email arrives I have to switch to the "flash" label first, then click on "paragliding," etc. I wanted a way to see it all at once.

So when I heard about Gmail Labs, I started implementing a Labs feature in my 20% time that would help me (and you!) spend less time monitoring important messages that may end up getting filtered away. Starting today, you can try Multiple Inboxes, a Labs experiment which makes it possible to have more than one 'inbox' in your default Gmail view.


You can enabled Multiple Inboxes from the Labs tab under Settings. Here you can configure what you'd like to see, the number of messages displayed, and the positioning of your panels.
