Questions tagged [inbox-by-gmail]

Do not use this tag! Google Inbox was shut down by Google on April 2, 2019. This tag was for questions about the web interface for Inbox by Gmail, also known as Google Inbox.

Inbox by Gmail was discontinued by Google on April 2, 2019

Inbox by Gmail is a new email app from the developers of Gmail. Introduced in October 2014, it organizes email differently from Gmail. Some of the more obvious features include:

  • "Snoozing" messages so that they leave the Inbox and are returned to your attention later
  • "Pinning" messages that you want to keep track of/add reminders about
  • "Bundles" of similar messages that can be managed in bulk, such as "Social", "Travel" and so on; you can even create your own bundles

There are Android and iOS apps, as well as a web interface. Questions on this site should be concerned with the web interface only.
