Google is making Priority markers default in GMail.(Credit:Rafe Needleman/CNET)
Google is bumping up the importance of its Priority Inbox feature. Speaking at the Inbox Love event in Mountain View, GMail product lead Paul McDonald said that the service's priority indicators would soon start showing up even in inboxes whose owners have not turned on the Priority Inbox feature.
GMail users won't be forced into viewing their inboxes in the segregated Priority view, but McDonald showed how the little yellow flags that indicate a high-priority message will soon be displayed by default in the standard, un-prioritized view. Users will be able to train the feature by turning the indicators on individual messages on and off.
A new popup message will alert users on login to several different "Inbox types" that users can select from. In addition to "Classic," users will be able to choose Unread first, Starred first, Important first, and Priority Inbox. The selection will be reversible at any time. McDonald did not say when the changes would be launched.
