I find the whole idea of zero inbox incredibly useless to my workflow as I don't care to treat email as GTD. The only value I get out of keeping Mailbox on my phone is the snooze feature (which unfortunately no Google App Script or Chrome Extension has been able to address properly yet). Once that gets solved by Gmail, Mailbox will be a goner. And yes, even though the author pooh-pooh'ed them at the introduction of the article, lack of labels and a couple of other features (like Undo) make Mailbox a no-go for me on a regular basis. Countering these objections with "missing the point" is extremely lazy IMHO.
- borski 14y agoHave you tried Boomerang? Pre-Mailbox, their "snooze" feature was the only thing I used for email. I love it. http://www.boomeranggmail.com http://www.boomeranggmail.com

- rogerchucker 14y agoThat's how I have been doing it until not too long ago.
- rogerchucker 14y agoActually only heard of it when Mailbox was coming out - looks like they have GTD nailed because they target businesses. I'll definitely give it a try (although with the free plan and it's 10 message credit limit - hopefully I don't need to snooze too many messages in a month). The sad thing is that the clean new-age UI, the queue-reservation-based hype and the publicity from its investors like MG made this sound like groundbreaking thing which it isn't.
- DenisM 14y agoI have a perfectly working Google App Scrit that does snooze - 1-5 days, 1-3 weeks, and 1-6 months. I wrote it myself, and never found time to publish. There are other scripts out there, in which ways did you find them deficient?
