    • Click "Create filter."
    • Select "Apply the label" and choose "Important Only."
    • Click "Create."
  3. Search Operators: You can use Gmail's search operators to find important emails. For example:

    • Select "See all settings."
    • Go to the "Labels" tab.
    • Click on "New label."
    • Enter a name for your label (e.g., "Important").
    • Click "Create."
    • Go back to your inbox and select the emails you want to label as important.
    • Right-click on the selected emails and choose "Apply label" > "Important."
  5. Third-Party Extensions: There are several third-party extensions available that can help you focus on important emails in Gmail. Some popular options include:
    • Boomerang: Allows you to schedule emails to reappear in your inbox if they don't receive a response.
    • Sanebox: Uses machine learning to identify important emails and filter out spam and junk mail.
