After a bit of use, I think I like it.
I was curious about the relation between Inbox and Gmail.
My current Gmail has a lot of filters and labels.
When looking at the labels, you have the choice of displaying them as "Clusters" in your main inbox, which is pretty convenient.
I did that to my Friends label and it is now a Friends cluster.
Note that it doesn't change anything in Gmail: the label is still here, all the filters that interact with it are still here too.
I realized that one of my friends wasn't in the cluster, so I moved it in it, and clicked on "Always do this", it prompted me : "Always move emails from Myfriend@email.com to Friends" .
2 remarks about this:
- This is a very basic way of adding some emails from bundling, in the future I except to be able to specialize more: for instance sometimes I get important emails from a co-worker, but he also sends a daily reminder that I don't care so much about, I would like to be able to move it to the bundle “Useless updates” only it comes from him AND has this specific subject. That is something we can do through the Gmail filters, but not through the “Always do this” interface yet.
- Curiously it created a filter in my old Gmail filters with as a rule : " from:Myfriend@email.com Action: "
The filter has no action, so I assume that when I will be receiving an email from that friend , in Inbox it will go into the good cluster, but in Gmail the label "Friend" won't be appended to it, this means that Gmail rules/filters apply to Inbox, but Inbox rules don’t apply to Gmail.
The Inbox's "Done" is doing the same thing as the Gmail's "Archive" .
I haven't been able to experience the snoozing feature yet
