InboxRank ranks a number of variables against individual users’ inbox behaviour in order to prioritise the information that is presented. It learns what users like, improving over time. Major variables considered include:

  • Frequency of communication between sender and receiver
  • How long they have known each other (based from date of first contact)
  • How quickly they respond to each other's messages
  • Indicators such as emails flagged as “important”, number of shares and retweets in social media, etc
  • How many communication channels sender and recipient have in common
