The best Gmail priority inbox depends on your personal preferences. You must customize the inbox to suit your needs. Gmail's priority inbox automatically sorts emails into Primary, Social, and Promotions tabs. The Primary tab shows your most important messages. The Social tab filters out social media notifications. The Promotions tab sorts marketing emails. You can adjust which emails go into these tabs. You should mark important emails as "Important" to ensure they stay in the Primary tab. You can also train Gmail by moving emails between tabs. This helps Gmail learn what matters most to you. The best priority inbox is the one you customize.
