Gmail uses a variety of signals to prioritize your incoming messages, such as who you get a lot of email from or chat with the most. Gmail also tracks keywords that appear frequently in messages.

If Priority Inbox mistakes an email as important or doesn’t flag one that’s important to you, you can teach it to make better selections.

• Mark a message as important—Click Important  next to the sender’s name. A yellow marker means that a message is important.
• Correct a message mistakenly marked important—Click Important   to clear it.

Changing the importance marker moves the email to the correct section of your inbox. Over time, Priority Inbox learns what’s important to you and incorporates the feedback you give.
