Read messages sent exclusively to you:
It's easy to be lost in your inbox, especially if you frequently receive email, or are part of several long discussions. However, you can sort email sent exclusively to you, with Gmail's search function. Go to Settings. Under the General tab, select Show indicators under the "Personal level indicators" option. Now the next time someone sends an email exclusively addressed to you, you'll find two arrows next to the subject in your inbox. A single arrow (>) means the email was sent to both you and others and a double arrows (>>) means that the email sent just to you. This way, you can easily prioritise the email you need to attend.
