> Outside of some of the bundling features Bundling (in the inbox) is THE reason for using Inbox. It's the only unique feature. It's the thing that changed how I use email. If I use folders it's the kiss of death for any email that a rule sends to that folder. I want a single list but with some items collapsed. Email went from unthreaded to threaded (reducing the complexity massively. Bundles takes that one step furt…

Same thing here !! I don't want to go back to gmail, now it looks like a complete mess compared to Inbox. Should I start writing a replacement client ? :///

From a different perspective, Trips was surprisingly annoying for me! I had a team we're I'd need to approve other people's trips which would automatically show up as my own in calendar etc. This was especially annoying when our trips would overlap to the same destination. Unfortunately, it didn't have an easy way to mark what was my trip and what wasn't in any sort of repeatable fashion.

I hope they'll include a "not my trip" option if they port the feature, (which I hope, it's a godsend when travelling).

This is really unfortunate. Inbox's primary differentiator was never in any one individual feature like Snooze or Smart Reply. No, the real value of Inbox was that its design was built around a fundamentally different philosophy on what email is and how it should be managed. Gmail takes a traditional approach to email management. Messages come in, you read them, maybe organize them with labels, then archive them, del…

> Gmail takes a traditional approach to email management. Messages come in, you read them, maybe organize them with labels, then archive them, delete them, or just leave them in your inbox forever. Not that long ago, gmail was a radically new way to deal with email. 1) aggregating emails from a single conversation in your inbox - yes, on the old days, every incoming email was a line in your inbox. 2) providing archiv…

You don't really miss anything by throwing every newsletter straight in the spam folder, the worst that will happen is that you hear life-changing news a day late. It will not kill you.

Noooooo, please just unsubscribe. I only sign up for newsletters I actually want to have delivered to my email but every once in a blue moon I notice that a newsletter went to spam instead of my inbox and invariably the reason given is "It is similar to messages that were identified as spam in the past." which to me means that other people marked it as spam instead of properly just unsubscribing. I understand that it…
