If you’ve ever cursed a phone’s tiny screen as utterly inadequate for sifting through an overflowing inbox you’ll be pleased to hear that the Gmail mobile web app now supports Priority Inbox. Priority Inbox helps combat information overload by automatically identifying your important messages so you can focus on those first. Until today it was only available on the desktop and Android devices.

Now, once you set up Priority Inbox in the desktop version of Gmail, you’ll see Priority Inbox sections when you visit gmail.com from your phone’s browser and click on the ‘Menu’ screen. You’ll also see importance markers in your inbox, so you can quickly identify which messages are important.

To put it bluntly:
If you have set up Priority Inbox on your desktop version of Gmail, you will now see the same sections in your Google Apps mail account. You’ll also see importance markers in your inbox, so you can quickly identify which messages are important.

Editions included:
Google Apps, Google Apps for Business, Government and Education

How to access what’s new:
– On your phone’s browser, sign in to your Google Apps email account and click on the ‘Menu’ screen to see the ‘Important and unread’ section.
– This feature is available for most mobile browsers that support HTML5, such as devices running Android 1.5+ and iOS 3+.
