LogBlo, my thoughts on User Experience, Psychology, Technology, Innovations and everything in between...

Few days ago i complained in my last post that Gmail is not giving a full solution to my email management needs. Well today some of these needs are filled, thanks to Gmail's multiple inboxes solution.

What is this Multiple Inboxes? Its a cool new tool that allows you to create and define additional content lists on the side, top or bottom of your current list, for example:

  • your starred items
  • your sent items
  • all emails from a certain user

and etc... You define the content of the additional lists according to your needs.

The first thing i'm taking from this new feature is that it finally gives me a good solution for emails I want to follow up on (Until today they were buried in my very lengthy inbox), In addition it gives me the option to better spread my focus when working with my Gmail and to change it when ever my needs are changed, and they change on a weekly basis.

Another good advantage for the Multiple Inboxes is that today many users use a wide screen which support a very wide view, but still most sites are designed for 1024*768 resolution (Because it is still the best resolution for the majority of the surfers). The direct effect of it, is a lot of space not used when we are viewing web sites. Gmail decided to give these wide screen users a better use for this empty space.

And now if you could only help me set my other Gmail account inbox out there and my tasks lists (Another recent Gmail addition) i'll be even happier.
