> New features on mobile, like high-priority notifications, can notify you of important messages to help you stay focused without interruption.
Err... wat. Explain again how "high-priority notifications" will help me stay focused "without interruption". This is a new level of newspeak. The ringtone is now LOUDER, which will help you enjoy silence.
Anyway, I don't care about any of this. All I want to know is if I'll still be able to disable conversation view in the new interface.
Shows: "Try notifications for only your most important emails: Turn on / No thanks".
So in context, the message is not that "high-priority notifications" mean louder ringtones but that (if you accept) Gmail will try to notify you only when an incoming email is important. That hopefully means fewer interruptions from newsletters and other bacn.
Somewhere in the account settings, there is a way to get an HTML-only version of GMail. (the alternative is "standard") This is what I use. I was forced to switch because of older hardware, but mostly I like the interface better. It is far more predictable. Text boxes act as they are defined by my browser. They don't jump around or do anything else weird. The standard interface has scripting that I would always end up fighting and cursing at.
At the moment, I have notifications turned off for mail. This is an option for Gmail to attempt to judge whether a mail is high-priority and only send notifications for a subset of mails.
