Gmail's Priority Inbox: Showing all unarchived mail for a label

If you use Gmail's priority inbox, you may have noticed you can add a section that will show all email for a given label, but there is no option to only show mail in the inbox for that label. Luckily there's a simple hack to do just that. Check out this stackexchange thread or follow the steps below.

  1. Go to the priority inbox settings tab.
  2. Click the options next to the section you want to show your work mail.
  3. Click "More Options..."
  4. Inspect the element for the "Work" Label
  5. You will notice on the surrounding div there is an attribute cfg="^all,Work", change the value to "^i,Work"
  6. Select the label on the page as you normally would
