Re: Gmail notifications

 

Some changes were made to how we query for new messages from Gmail, as
users were reporting  missed messages because we were being too selective
in our query. We now check for new messages in "Inbox". To turn off the
annoying Social, Promotions, etc, notifications you should open Gmail in a
browser and go to the Settings->Labels page hide the ones you don't want
from showing up in main message list (they will still be accessible from
Categories Folder in Gmail).

I've attached a screenshot. This should do the trick.
