Gmail's Priority Inbox (Categorized Important Messages)

I like Gmail's new "important" message feature that they are testing in beta currently.  To use it effectively with my setup that already automatically sorts my Gmail into categories, I had to do a few alterations.  I am using the "Multiple Inboxes" lab feature and I wanted to get the new division of "Unread and Important" and other "Unread".  The priority inbox only shows those emails that are in my inbox in those categories but because I have popfile moving my email to other tags, I needed to change the filters in my multiple inboxes.

I set the my filters to

• is:unread is:important
  (show me unread items with the important flag) 
• is:unread -is:important  
  (show me unread items that DON'T have the important flag)

So now my inbox has all my unread important messages at the top (sorted by category) and all my unread, probably not as important categorized emails in the next section.

Google Apps Mail with DotNetNuke

I was recently having a problem with the mail on the Atenveldt.org site.  I had switched from the host provided email server to Google Apps email, but in some cases email was being delivered to the wrong place.   It turned out that this was because I had the host's email server still set up in the SMTP settings in DotNetNuke.  The aliases on this domain change quite a bit as different officers take over and they keep the same alias but point to a new destination address.  For instance, the King and Queen of Atenveldt rotate twice a year, the crown (at) atenveldt.org address will always be available but point to the new King and Queen as they take over from the old set.
