The Irish Independent reports that Google is set to introduce one of the most significant new additions to its Gmail service on Tuesday -- automatic filtering and prioritisation of e-mail.
Automatic ranking of e-mail could make it far easier for heavy e-mail users to keep track of their communication and make office workers more productive, according to experts. Google's system "learns" its users' priorities over time by analysing how they respond to messages from particular senders. Gmail users worldwide will have the option of sorting their inboxes by priority, rather than time, starting on Tuesday.
