Google has done a lot to improve its emailing features and User interaction through the Labs module. However, I strongly felt that the gmail labs lack one ‘mundane’ feature which everyone needs and would be happy to include with; and that is - an urgency rating system.
If you are one person who uses the email service frequently to communicate, you perhaps must have come to notice that the rating system is extremely essential.
What Google can add to its labs feature is a 5 options rating module, say something like the one shown on the right. The module is suppose to rate the urgency of the email.
What one usually does is read the email he or she receives first, and so the last email you sent, even though it is urgent, could be read last. It’s kind of a FIFO arrangement. You can mention in the subject line, the degree of urgency but there is a better way to do that.
