How to Turn on the New Gmail Inbox
To turn on the new Gmail inbox, log into your Gmail account. Once logged into Gmail, look for a small gear icon in the upper right corner. Click on this once to open a drop down with more options.
Step 1: Go to Configure Inbox.
On this screen, click on Configure Inbox. Don’t go straight to Settings as the new inbox settings won’t be there yet.
After you click on Configure Inbox, Google will show a small popup that lets you pick which tabs to enable. The Primary, Social and Promotions tabs are checked by default. Users can also pick to have Starred messages show in the Primary inbox.
Step 2: Choose the new Gmail Inbox tabs you want to use.
Click Save to save these settings and enable the new Gmail inbox experience. A new screen will show up that highlights the new Gmail tabs and explains how the system works.
Check out the new Gmail Inbox features and get started.
Users can click the plus sign to the right to change which tabs are shown. To change the overall Inbox settings, or to switch back to Priority Inbox, users can click the Settings cog and choose Settings. Then click on the Inbox tab and choose Primary from the drop down.
Once enabled this will show up on the new Gmail for iPhone app and on the updated Gmail or Android app whenever it appears in the Google Play Store.
Google offers a help page that shares more on Inbox tabs and category labels.
