I generally love priority inbox, but it doesn't do a good job of catching certain classes of mail that I need to read. (Mostly this is work-related email from some previously unknown sender with poor English skills--a regular hazard, for a grad student.) I've solved this somewhat by changing the second panel from "Starred" to "Unread in Inbox". This way I can still choose to address only really important mail (top panel), but all non-spam mail makes it at least to the second panel, at least once.
