New Gmail App – Inbox

Gmail introduced new email app – Inbox, 2 days before. Inbox helps email users to manage and organize their email boxes easier with Bundles, Highlights, reminders & Snooze.

 Bundles 

Inbox users can categorize their emails with more categories like finance, travel, forum and purchase. Users can also set some rules for a new category so that the relevant emails will go to the right category automatically.

 Highlights 

Highlights is a more advanced function than pinning email. Inbox will retrieve and show the most important information and images from the email messages and even website in the mailbox. Inbox users can get the main information from emails with only one glance in Inbox.

 Reminders & Snooze 

If an Inbox users cannot take action or make purchase decision immediately after they receive your emails, they can snooze them and get back to them later. Inbox will also remind users to check the emails again according to the time scheduled by users.
