> Outside of bundling Bundling is the main development that Inbox brought to the table.

Going to the video tape: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2014/10/an-inbox-that-works-for-you.html https://gmail.googleblog.com/2014/10/an-inbox-that-works-for... Three things are highlighted: Extraction of info from items and display (now in gmail) Bundles (some made it into gmail) Reminders, assists, and Snooze (now mostly in gmail) So i'm not sure i'd agree with you here, but i definitely would agree that of the big three, bundling made it in the least :)

  How can I get bundles in Gmail? Am I missing something?

    Settings -> Inbox -> Categories is analogous, although IMO the UI isn't as nice. I also don't know if that lets you do custom bundles, although that's a feature I never used in Inbox. Edit: and the gmail version of bundles has fewer categories than Inbox does

      Sorry, not even close. Categories is just automatic folders, every email client has had folders for decades.

        Is there a difference, other than bundles are inline with your other emails and categories are accessed in separate tabs?

        You cannot create custom categories, you're limited to the 5 options Gmail provides you.

        You can't archive all in one swipe.

        I for example have all promo emails "queue" up whenever they come in and show up at 9am every day. I have all "low priority" emails show up at 5pm when I'm winding down my workday to deal with them. That's the kind of thing I'm going to miss the most.

  Is this in the gmail android app? How come I don't see any of this stuff?

  > Bundles (some made it into gmail) Where? “Categories” were in Gmail before Inbox, but there still doesn't seem to be any way to get them bundled in the inbox the way Inbox’s primary display does, though you can set them as separate inboxes.

  Inbox users have had all of this and more since 2014, though. And even if Gmail has some of these features the interface is not nearly as natural for using them.
