  1. Open Gmail and login, if necessary.
  2. Click the gear icon in the upper right and select Settings.
  3. Click Inbox from the tabs at the top.
  4. Select Priority Inbox from the dropdown to the right of Inbox type.
  5. Click Add section and select an option. I’m going to click More Options and add the label I have set up for Subscriptions. You can do this with any label, or create a new one. When combined with filters, Gmail can sort your mail automatically into the appropriate section.
  6. Click Save Changes.
