Snooze, pin and reminders

Hide a conversation until later, keep one at the top of the list, or get a notification about it at a set time.

These three actions are in the web app and in the iPhone and Android apps. Open a conversation and use the toolbar, or open the menu on a message row. On narrow windows some buttons move into the overflow menu.

Snooze#

Snooze hides a conversation from your inbox until the time you choose. It then comes back to the inbox as unread.

  1. Select Snooze.
  2. Under Snooze until, pick a preset. On the web the presets are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, Tomorrow morning, Tomorrow and Next week.
  3. Or choose Custom date & time and set both.

A notice confirms when it will return, for example "Will return Tue, 3:45 PM". To bring a conversation back early, use the cancel option on the snoozed conversation: you will see "Snooze cancelled".

On the web, Tomorrow morning and Next week return at 8:00 in your local time. The custom time must be in the future.

Pin#

Choose Pin to top to keep a conversation at the top of your list. The same button reads Unpin once pinned. A notice says "Email pinned to top".

Set reminder#

A reminder notifies you about a message at a time you pick. It does not hide the message.

  1. Choose Set reminder.
  2. On the web, pick a time in When, or use a shortcut: In 1 hour, In 3 hours, Tomorrow 9am or Next week.
  3. Optionally add a note.
  4. Confirm. The notice reads "Reminder set".

The time must be in the future. When it arrives you get a push notification.
