While using Microsoft Office Outlook for managing official emails, I've observed a plethora of people (including myself) frequently using the "IMPORTANCE:HIGH" feature to "increase" the conspicuousness of their emails but HARDLY seen any one using "IMPORTANCE:LOW"....
While I can always increase my productivity by giving immediate attention to "IMPORTANCE:HIGH" emails, I can save my time as well by ignoring the "IMPORTANCE"LOW" emails when I can always find other HIGH priority job - bothways, effectively enhancing my productivity!
Don't you think it's high time that companies encouraged employees to start using "IMPORTANCE:LOW" feature....
Am I DEMEANING YOU here? By IGNORING your "IMPORTANCE:LOW" email?
Not really....I'll get back to you, as soon I finish through my other HIGH priority jobs...
So who's the bigger Egotist here - YOU or ME?
Food for thought?

Something wrang with your argument...
Most people operate on a tight schedule.A Low priority becomes high within (say) a day and unfortunately the mailbox wont update this...
I agree with Edward but some times when you are working on some high importance work you can ignore the Low priority :-) and keep concentrating on the current job
