What does the arrow mean in Gmail?

The big arrow next to the sender's name is the importance marker for emails. Basically, Gmail marks certain messages as important using AI technology called Google Magic. You will see a yellow/gold-colored icon if Gmail considers an email important and a hollow arrow icon if an email is considered unimportant.

Gmail marks what messages it thinks are important using yellow arrows - a double arrow means the message was sent directly to you, a single skinny arrow means you were Cc'd on it, and a fat single arrow means you got the message as part of a group.
