What do you think about giving priorities to E-mails?
According to Hilary Mason, the lead scientist at Bitly.
What do you think is this really going to be helpful for us or will make it more complex?
I think e-mail should be sorted by importance, not by time,โ Ms. Mason explained this in an interview.So whats your thought after reading this concept of arranging E-mails in your inbox according to the subject of the e-mail and the mailer ID rather than time?
She added that she has built layers on top of her Gmail account that follow a series of rules to correctly prioritize which e-mails she should read first. She calls the program the E-Mail Classifier and has given this little contraption the job of constantly reorganizing her messages like a magician shuffling a deck of cards.

sushant005@sir:
The debate is about -The arranging of E-mails on the basis of subject of e-mail and the mailers identity is better then the time basis arrangement or not?
which is best the one with time basis or the one with senders identification basis and why ?
In my view the arrangement of e-mails on the subject basis is better.
Let suppose if we haven't check the mail for a week then in case of subject basis the arrangement of e-mails are much different then the time basis, the mails are arranged on the basis of priority i mean the e-mail which is important are on the top and accordingly the least are on the bottom.So it helps to categories which is important and will be read first by the receiver.I think it is better for the business man, they don't have time to read all the mails.So in this way it will be easy for them. -
LeoBuddy arranging things on priority can be easily faked by anyone just because subject appears good doesn't always means the mail is important, this is very easy that such arrangement of mail system will lead to unwanted mails read first specially spam mails, also detecting add-mails and spam-mails will become difficult.

sushant005But it(E-mail classifier made by ms. Mason) does not fully depend on the subject but also depends on the Mailers ID (Identification).
And it arranges the E-mails considering both subject and the mailers ID.
And it also give priority to those mails which are very much regular to the receiver.
I mean to say that if a person working on a company xxxx and he receive 1 to 2 mails from his company daily then that E-mail Classifier made by Ms.Mason give higher priority to those mails. -
LeoBuddy no matter what the mailer id is, because even mail id's can be faked and that too for free. For more information google for E-mail spoofing or fake e-mails you will get thousands of them for faking an e-mail.

sushant005ya you are right but i do not know whether that classifier is capable of catching/detecting spam E-mails or not...i think that classifier must have that capability of catching e-mail spams otherwise this facility got no meaning.
-
LeoSo far as my view is concerned we already have mail filters they work much better than this classifier, for me the new classifier is actually of no use to regular mail user, will only help few professionals. Still efficiency is doubtful.
