Since gmail does not have its own forums (as far I can tell) I am asking this here. Maybe someone, here, knows: 1. Gmail determines the importance of a piece of mail by (among other things) how frequently you read related mails (for example it considers ports-bugs@ to be important for my case but that's only because I currently have a couple of ports in the process of being committed) 2. There seems no way (besides reading this include marking it as read) to mark a message as being not important 3. As a result of the above, in the last 2 weeks my important and unread folder has exploded from 2 or 3 messages a day (ones that are truly important) to over 50 thus making the feature useless Any ideas? P.S. at some point the project listed in my signature will be adding support for preconfigured mail servers and such; once this happens the above is moot... but til then... -- Aryeh M.
