How Will Gmail Tabs Affect Your Emails?
Monday, September 16th, 2013
On May 29, Google announced a new, simple way to organize your inbox and “put you back in control” — the new inbox groups your mail into categories which appear as different tabs:
- Primary (messages from friends/family and other messages that don’t appear in other tabs)
- Promotions (deals, offers and other promotional messages)
- Social (messages from social networks, media-sharing sites, gaming platforms, etc.)
- Updates (notifications such as confirmations, receipts, bills and statements)
- Forums (messages from online groups, discussion boards and mailing lists)
