Looks like Gmail is leading an innovation race between free webmail service providers. Take a look at their recently added features and you’ll really find this true. They’ve come up with Filters, Labels, offline mail and now it’s Multiple Inboxes.

As the name suggest, this Lab feature adds more than one instances of inbox in a single default Gmail view. You can view for example your default inbox, Drafts, Starred mails in a single page. So, no need to juggle through all the labels you’ve created, your drafts etc each time by clicking on their links. It increases productivity in a simple yet innovative way.

You can turn on this feature from “Labs” tab of your Gmail settings. You can add up to 5 panes in a single view and can place them at right, above or below your default inbox. Personally I like to place it below the inbox. To configure the panes, just head on to “Multiple Inboxes” tab of your Gmail Settings page.

Here’s the sample screenshot of Multiple Inbox in Gmail.
