Thunderbird is still around and I'm sticking with it as long as it works.

#172Wow! I haven’t used regular Gmail in years! It will be a pain to switch back. The whole bundling, scheduling, snoozing, pinning, reminders etc are really useful. But then it’s Google. The key people probably got bored and moved on and perhaps no one else is willing to take it up. At least they didn’t make 10 different email products like they did with IM. Any suggestions for alternative email clients for iOS/Android…
For iOS I just stick with the native Mail.app to be honest.

I recently switched back to Gmail from Inbox (before this announcement) and was pleasantly surprised that most of the features from Inbox were there. I barely had to change my workflow.
I like the way Inbox handles certain kind emails differently —- e.g. it extracts relevant data from newsletters, tickets, receipts, order confirmations, package tracking emails etc. so they are available at a quick glance. A quick glance tells me that is not the case with Gmail — correct me if I am mistaken.
Re: Google is discontinuing Inbox
#174Inbox had two distinct content types, emails and reminders. Both where handled the same by Inbox but reminders don't show up in Gmail. Anyone found yet how to migrate these to Gmail? I have a lot of reminders that are snoozed at specific times and also to "Some day". Would really hate to loose them. I checked to data exporter Google provides and it has no entry for Inbox, only Gmail.

#175I don't mean to throw out the same old "you can't get attached to Google products because they kill them at any time" thing, but holy shit, this one feels like a real kick in the balls. Email is one of my most important workflows and I've spent a great deal of time over the past few years attaching myself to the zero inbox mindset through the bundles feature and having my reminders as first class citizens in the inbo…
I'm not too familiar with it; how is this different from setting a "skip the inbox" filter?

#176Aw fuck.
Re: Google is discontinuing Inbox
#177Ugh! I love Inbox, going back to the Gmail interface feels awful in comparison. I love the grouping of emails by day so I can easily see everything that came in today.
Having a separate app that takes a different approach which heavy users of email might like makes sense - the UI you need when you are getting 100+ emails a day is very different from when you are getting 5.

It works well enough for regular IMAP or Exchange accounts, but there is something messed up with Google’s implementation of IMAP which causes the experience to be sub-par. Also, Mail.app doessn’t have anywhere near feature parity with Inbox.

#179Hmm this really sucks, especially for my daily/hourly reminders that I have set up. What are others using to replace Inbox's reminders?

They are in your Google Calendar I think
