One of the major issues faced by people who are regular users of email is the high inflow of emails. It often happens for many of them to lose important emails in the flood of promotional and other personal emails. It would offer high convenience and comfort for Gmail users to have a facility to pin the important emails to the top of the inbox so that it would be easy to get to them and open them as and when required. Gmail provides a feature in which the user can prioritize the inbox according to the importance of the email received and thereby act technically as a pinning procedure. This feature makes use of the starring process popular in the Gmail application and by combining it with several steps to customize the inbox, the user can have an inbox that prioritizes starred emails and let them top the inbox. It effectively does away with the burden of going through numerous emails to finally find the important one.
