Google Inbox adds two time-saving snooze options
One of the great things about Google Inbox's snooze function is being able to set the exact date and time to resurface emails you intend to read and reply to later. Sometimes, though, you just want to get non-urgent emails out of the way without thinking too hard. This latest Inbox by Gmail update allows you to do just that. Now, when you choose to toss a digital missive into your read-it-much-much-later pile, you can choose from two new snooze times: Later this week and This weekend. And since different people have different weekends, you can choose a particular day when you think you'll be ready to face what you've put off.
Google adds a snooze button to Inbox emails (updated)
No, you don't need to reply to that email immediately in the middle of dinner. Now Google's trying to help that happen, with Snooze. A new addition to its Gmail Inbox app, users can "snooze" emails with automatic quick settings or their own customized reminders. You can delay a message for later the same day, tomorrow or even a week from now. There's also the hilarious someday option -- we're going to assume it'll reappear later in the week, but don't hold us to that. You can even "geo-snooze" a message to remind you when you're at a place, rather than a prescribed time. You can still access any reminders or snoozed messages if you manage to make time and adjust reminders if needed. Inbox zero could be within in your grasp in 2015. Well, kind of. (Update: Seems like we slept through the original feature announcement -- snoozing emails has been inside the app since launch. Apologies.)
