Bug ID: 56416
Summary: Investigate in what new Gmail "inbox tabs and category
labels" MediaWiki emails are going
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
URL: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/3055016
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Gmail recently introduced this: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/3055016
(though it's only an old idea and something they started doing a few years ago:
http://maffulli.net/2011/06/30/leveraging-the-address-book-as-your-social-network/
).
The result is that my bank just sent me a newsletter with instructions on how
to move their emails to a more prominent tab (and reminding me I can still
switch back to the old interface). It seems we can't ignore Gmail. :)
Not as urgent as getting our mailers out of blacklists, but MediaWiki emails
are sometimes critical so at some point we'll probably want to look into this
more.
We might end up deciding that we should tell our Gmail users to add some of our
email addresses to their contacts if they want to be sure not to miss password
reminders, important security notifications and the like (after making sure
there is a specific address from which we send such important messages).
