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

code_ Will you please have an invite for google Inbox to share, please? alex@allwrite.tk

Thanks,

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 think the clustering either has been trained very well, or uses a very conservative rule-based system. It seems to work great!

To those who think inbox-0 is a waste of time, because you can just search for email, so why spend even a second organizing it: what causes you to remember to reply to an email sent to you 3 days ago, which is now the 119th email in your inbox? I subscribe to inbox-0 because emails in my inbox need attention of some kind. I'm not advocating spending an inordinate amount of time organizing every email with labels and…

I receive hundreds of useless mails everyday (not filterable spam, just thing I don't care about or have no valuable information), so dealing with each of them to empty the inbox is a waste of time. Most mail that matters come from specific people (close family, project members, current client...) so it's easy to search, the unexpected important mails and things that needs to be done later just need to be starred. I…

It sounds like you're doing an adaptation of Inbox Zero anyway. It's Inbox-Starred rather than Inbox Zero, which to me sounds like what someone would do if their email didn't have an archive option. Or for people that generally don't like archival.

Personally, I didn't like archival at first, but now I'm quite addicted to it

Full Disclosure: I'm a Inbox Zero-er.

Yes because as we all know email is exclusively the domain of the young, idle Bourgeoisie

Well, that's who Inbox is targeted to with the given video, at least.

That's who you target first, to spread it toward people who aren't so technically inclined. iPhone wasn't for moms at first, and now many don't know what they'd do without it

We've spent a lot of time optimizing for 60fps for the Web, it's not quite there yet for all browsers, due to different rendering/layout engine "gotchas", but we're working on rock solid 60fps everywhere.

Is that why Inbox requires Chrome?

Yes.

I wouldn't say I have a problem with email as it is today, but I am the exact opposite of you; I never archive or organize any of my email (besides rules for labeling email lists and groups so they directly bypass my inbox). I appear to have 11,600+ emails in my Gmail inbox. If I need something, I just search for it. As the Gmail search is really, really, good, I can pretty much instantly bring up any thread. I there…

I do exactly this as well. Some things need the user to spend time organizing them because search can't operate on it well (i.e. photos), but email is not one of those things. 99.99% of the time email search gets me what I'm looking for in a mater of seconds. Spending time organizing emails is going to be a complete waste of time for the vast majority of people. This is also the reason I've never been able to use any…

People are working on that.

Sadly I have my google account hooked up with custom domains so it won't work. I'm looking forward to trying this when it is available.

I can understand why google don't want to push this on large organisations in case it results in expensive support, but as a paying google customer It'd be nice to have the choice.

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.

What are the hurdles to allowing Inbox for Google Apps users?

It is not yet possible. :(

Got the invite for my google apps account, tried to sign in and was denied - because it was a google apps account.

They can't be big, as I know Google employees can use it for Apps accounts already. No idea why they haven't enabled it for us mere mortals.
