I'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…

Would love one if anyone has it. click0230@gmail.com . Also, I would share mine. thanks in advance. Cheers

I'm not sure what this 'inbox' does, but from judging from the video it's about a bunch of twenty-something hipsters from California high-fiving each other.

I think we just witnessed the first corporate pseudo-cool advertisement from Google. You know, when BigCorp tries to cater to the young and hip, thats the kind of video they produce. Crank it up a notch, and you're in the uncanny Samsung Valley.

I, for one, am looking forward to the Poochie rap!

This sounds interesting - I've been waiting for a while for Google to use more ML on the client side in g-mail.

I would really appreciate an invite at inglor at gmail dot com?

You read your email once a year? Did I miss something?

Indeed, you did. I read my email whenever I want. I spend time manually moving/filing/archiving my email about once a year.

"Select all last-year mail, archive. Done."

TO what extent does it use ML for all the clustering? Does it work all of the times?

I can not imagine what'd happen if it doesn't work all of the times?

I like the colors aspect though and and would love to try it out.

If you still have some invites left send out one to a.tom.mindan@gmail.com

I don't understand why people want some algorithm to sort your email for you. IMO email should always be sorted chronologically, and if it's too much, then used rules and folders/labels. Your inbox is not the place to add reminders. With the Google strategy you will have reminders everywhere seperately: calendar, email, phone, IM, texts, etc. Inbox by Gmail: the Facebook of email.

As a counterpoint, I use Gmail's "Priority Inbox", and it's basically the best thing since sliced bread for me. I don't want to have to bother creating rules for every Kickstarter I back, mailing list I join, marketing email that's just useful enough not have me unsubscribe. The Priority Inbox does a 99% perfect job of sorting the emails I actually care about. Occasionally (once every other month), it misses somethin…

> rules for every ... mailing list I join

This one at least is solved for me now, since most list software implemented RFC 2919 a few years ago. Lists should include a list-id header, so just write one rule "if mail is to a list named foobar, file it in lists/foobar". Or if you don't care to separate them out, even just "if mail is to a list, file it in lists".

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,…

Have you got the Bugzilla id for this issue? I’d be interested to track it.

This returns in in 3ms on IE11. Just for fun, I tested on IE6; it's just as fast. http://imgur.com/CFRSNoq
