Gmail's New Inbox Styles
Gmail's Priority Inbox is an advanced version of the regular inbox, with customizable sections for power users. For some people, Priority Inbox looked intimidating, so that's probably the reason why Gmail tests a new version of the regular inbox that integrates Priority Inbox and three lightweight versions of the Priority Inbox.
"Try out all the new inbox styles to see what fits you best. You can always switch back if you change your mind," informs a Gmail promotional box. There are five inbox types: classic, important first, unread first, starred first and Priority Inbox. The three new inbox types could easily be obtained by customizing Priority Inbox, but it's much easier to switch between them. It's the first time when Google uses tabs in Gmail interface if you exclude Gmail's settings page.

Priority inbox is the most useless feature ever made by Google.
Reply Deleteok. let me understand this. google is now randomly picking gmail users with these test features without launching them officially? coz i cannot locate it on my account.
Reply Deletethey try to think up new things so hard, that what comes out of their head becomes more and more useless. why is that?
Reply DeleteI find Priority inbox is useful in a mobile environment.
Reply Deletehohohoho...new feature anymore...like like \m/
Reply DeleteI can't find "Inbox type" in my Gmail.
Reply DeleteCan we just get the ability to sort email by Date, Person, Subject, Size first?
Reply DeleteI changed to Unread first on my work computer, now at home I ONLY see unread mail and have to go to all mail to see anything else. Also, the tabs have gone, so I can't change back to normal. Grrrr.
Reply Deletesana it is so annoying
DeleteI like the ability to sort unread first.
Reply DeleteHave you figured it out yet?
DeleteHi
DeleteAre you still liking that ability?
Lightbody
I had the new arrangement, but now it has disappeared and gone back to normal
Reply Deleteit is quite useless. each one of the inboxes seems to have a fatal flaw that makes it not work quite perfectly.
Reply Deletedoes anyone know how to get that tabs line back?
