Multiple Inboxes adds extra panes to Gmail
Multiple Inboxes changes that. The tool is part of Gmail Labs, which means you can enable it by clicking the little green icon next to the Gmail settings link. Once you enable Multiple Inboxes you'll notice a few extra panes hanging out next to yor main Gmail window. You can adjust what shows up in these areas by clicking the settings link.
For example, you can see all of your starred items in one panel, while viewing all items with attachments in another.
Multiple Inboxes will probably work best for users with high resolution, wide screen monitors. If you've got a 1024 x 768 pixel display, there's a good chance you're going to have a hard time reading your message headers when running this tool.

Very cool, but still no preview pane?

You don't have to place the additional inboxes next to the main one. You can also set it above or below.
This is really handy for me, since the new themes has made it difficult for me to see which are unread messages because the themes that are bearable all lack enough contrast between the blue of read messages and the white of unread ones.
So I set up an additional inbox just for unread messages by setting the pane's search to this:
is:unread label:inbox
Since I also set the pane to be located above the inbox, it requires no additional screen width to display it comfortably, no matter what my resolution or monitor size is.
