I'm not sure why every inbox mail for you is being tagged "important",
because that's not the case here and you're the first person to report
this as an issue (although, I was already aware of it, having hit it on
the occasional time Google flags a message as important).

String matching on the label name won't work, as it's translated in to
every language supported by Google, which means it's completely
dependant on the UI language you select in Gmail. For this reason,
string matching is always unreliable and breaks frequently as
translations are updated.

Checking if messages are the same is not really an option. As the 2
messages have different URI's, the only way to check if messages are the
same would be to compare their contents, which a) is incredibly slow,
and b) requires us to stream the entire contents of every message from
the network (rather than just the message headers) just to show a
notification.

Unfortunately, there isn't really any good solution here. If it bothers
you that much, you can turn on "Inbox only" mode in the preferences....
