That's a massive shame. Weird that Mailbox/Dropbox manages to do it with Gmail, but Google doesn't.
To my understanding, the future of "enterprise support" for Android is that you'll be able to install multiple copies of the same app and one will be personal and the other work.
This is how BlackBerry 10 devices handle the difference between personal and work applications. Al though, it's just one application running two instances with app data in two different locations.

Inbox works on two of my Apps accounts. What are you actually asking?
Did you have to turn this on in the Google Apps control panel? I'm unable to get it to work (Google Apps free edition, grandfathered).
It's currently unavailable for Google Apps accounts. If his apps account has access to it then it's likely that he works for Google.

#324An interesting comparison might be to the Zoho Inbox Insights [1] app that is slated to land fairly soon.
If reports are to be believed this app has similar functionality.

That turns out to be the case.
Re: Google Inbox
#326I wish Google had used a less generic name. Searching for "mail isn't showing up in my inbox" is either going to show you generic mail problems or Google Inbox problems. Apple's "Messages" app is a terrible name in the same way.
For a company that still makes the vast majority of it's money from search, Google sure generates a lot of products with absolutely horrible SEO.
The chrome browser vs chrome os search overlap is just awful as I found out this week.

#327I've been using Inbox at El Goog for a while now, and I am happy to answer questions (in between dealing with a newborn...) FWIW, I really like it, and use it exclusively for my work and personal accounts. Inbox functions very much more like a ToDo list than it does an email client. Here are the workflows I have: Work: I filter all mailing lists into different clusters that I have appear at 7AM every morning. I then…
I wrote a review of the Inbox on facebook (that was my deal with the person that invited me). Cross-posting here if it interests you.
My review of Google's new Inbox, based on two hours of use (thanks [redacted] for the invite).
First the good parts: 1. I really like bundles. The idea that I can "Sweep" all the promotional emails I get in one click fills me with glee (and marketers with anxiety, I imagine). It's also nice to have all the travel related emails in one place. Never again am I going to be confused whether I should be going to SFO or SJC.
2. I like the new compose. My emails are too long (both those I write and those you do), and I'm praying that showing just one line to write a response will make emails briefer.
3. Snooze/procrastinate: How I like the idea of "someday". Combined with my own future discounting, I'm not going to feel guilty about not responding anymore.
The not-so-good parts:
1. Boy is this opinionated software! There is an inexorable push to empty your inbox. I guess I'll like it if I get with the program.
2. It's too pretty. No, seriously. The title-bar is too bright, there are too many people's faces, too many colors and font styles. I like my email drab so I can focus on what people are saying and not get distracted by the colors.
That's all I see with two hours of use. Oh, also, I don't know how to invite people yet. If someone tells me, I'm happy to invite y'all.
edit: formatting.

What an incredibly disingenuous reply. Chrome is truly this decade's IE, and watching Google try to play this kind of crap off would be disappointing if it wasn't so insulting. "There's no intent to exclude Firefox", it just turns out you've done that for like 2 major product releases in a row along with a giant flashing button suggesting that the user downloads Chrome. I'm not stupid, you don't have to lie to my fac…
I take offense to someone calling me a liar. Try typing this into a JS Console: var xx = []; xx[30000000]=42; var yy = xx.slice(0); It took almost a week to track down this problem where FF was taking 13 seconds to startup. We've spent a lot of time working on this and it is always in the cards to support this on all the other browsers. We've fixed tons of bugs and have gotten closer to it working the way it should,…

What specific problems does this create that prevents you from shipping with a degraded experience?
Or feature detect this problem and serve some type of notice.
If bleeding-edge Chrome is the only browser good enough for this site then it's a problem with the site's architecture.
> Any insinuation that this is an attempt to sell Chrome over Firefox is just flat out wrong.
Maybe not you in the engineering team, but the designers / PMs who decided to stick a "install Chrome instead" banner definitely had it in mind.
> Firefox has such a large user base, it can't be ignored, just like iOS can't.
That's either a lie or incredibly naive. You wouldn't have shipped without iOS. Full-stop.

One feature that's unclear to me, if you don't mind: when you sweep a bundle, does it sweep only the items displayed on the screen, or everything in that category? For example, if I have 500 emails in my Forums bundle and sweep what I can see, will it sweep just those 25 or all 500? I don't want to make a mistake by testing this myself. :)

Are changes that you make in Inbox reflected in Gmail? For instance, if you archive (sweep?) something in Inbox is it also archived in Gmail? Are clusters related to tags?
