#3I'm always blown away when I hear about the sheer volume of incoming email that some people have to deal with. I may get 10 a day, but apparently getting hundreds isn't all that uncommon.
It's unreal that a product like this even exists. Though no doubt it's useful for people that receive a never-ending deluge of email.

#4Seems like this is a combination of filters, labels, and vacation responders to "pause" messages. Nice hack but may be good to disclose that all your mail correspondences will receive an automated message about Inbox Pause. Personally I don't like it (the vacation responder), so it seems easy enough to disable while keeping the actual pausing functionality. Otherwise nice tool!

#5This sounds like a pretty cool product. Just wish I had it when I went on vacation last week.

#6One thing I'd really want to see in an email client is a set of "reply today", "reply tomorrow" and "reply later" buttons, linked to my todo list or calendar.

You mean like those Follow Up flags in Outlook that are one right-click away?

There's an option to turn on/off the auto responder. Checkout the second image in the slide show: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/illgajkjilbddcllil...

I currently work as a PM in a big company. Yesterday I've got slightly over 200 emails; it is a typical day.
Granted, some of those were CC:, and people like to have one-line replies, but I still have to read each one nevertheless just to make sure it is not something I need urgently respond to.

#10The manual method:
1. Create filter "subject(*)" -> Skip Inbox, Apply Label "INBOXPAUSE"
2. There is no step 2
To "unpause"
1. Delete filter (too bad you can't turn them off/on)
2. Go to label "INBOXPAUSE", select all, move to inbox
Works for web-based as well as mobile, which is nice. The primary benefit of this extension is that it reminds you that you're paused with an overlay.
