In other words, you needed to set automatic criteria that determined what messages would go into that bundle before you can enable the bundled in the inbox feature. Well not that seems to be no longer a requirement, but why? If you are not setting criteria to place emails into a bundle, then how would new emails cause the bundle to show in the inbox? Excatly, it cant.
Regardless, it is my public duty to report all features found in Inbox, whether they make sense or not. But seriously folks, how are you using the bundle in the inbox without bundling rules?
Hello Scott. I actually use this feature a lot. Every morning I go through my emails. Some get snoozed. Some get filed. Some deleted. But some I need to work on and i am waiting for more info. I file these in the "Project to do" folder. I don't want to snooze them, cause I am currently working on them. I don't want to filter them away just yet, cause I am not done. And there's is no way to set a filter for this. Unless someone has another way, this seems to be the best way I could think of, and it works great.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, but what about pinning, isn't that sort of the same

DeleteThat is true, but, I find that I will get 6 different email threads on the same task. If I pin them, then they are scattered throughout my inbox. I prefer to bundle them.

DeleteI beleive 0 mail inbox isn't possible with pinning.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but then its wouldnt be with bundling in the inbox either. So manually move an email to a bundle and its out of the inbox too. No need to turn on bundle in the inbox with no rules with it

ReplyDeleteHere you have some example of using bundles without rules: https://medium.com/@beaugordon/why-i-switched-my-gtd-system-from-gmail-to-google-inbox-233c66a62cb0#.v2lyca3qz
ReplyDeleteThe only problem I've found is this: Let's think we have a bundle not showing in the inbox. When you set up a reminder into a mail from this bundle and the email come up in the inbox, it doesn't apper organized withing the boundle, only show the mail, but not the bundle that is related to.
I use this feature in combination with snooze frequently. For example, I have a bundle called "Volunteer website" that I use to put emails related to the website that I help run as part of a volunteer board for a professional organization. There isn't any group of features to emails that relate to this bundle, so I do need to move them there manually when I want them in that group. So, when I get an email for the website that I need to do something with later, I move it to the bundle & snooze it. Then, when the snooze comes back up, it brings up the entire bundle so that I can do whatever I need with the snoozed email but still have the other info in that bundle right there for reference.
