chenGOD Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Jesus fuck just set up some rules in thunderbird/outlook and do some actual work people. LOL, you're telling this generation that? I mean I haven't looked at this google inbox thing at all, but how well is it going to work for someone who gets 300+ emails a day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It works surprisingly well (I get about 30+ a day), since when you mark things as 'done', they visibly leave your inbox, giving you a real sense of accomplishment. By the way, today only, you can email Google for an Inbox invite! Just email inbox@google.com from a Gmail email address, and they will send you an invite.

eugene Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 ok im officially done with this shit, it's impossible to get used to it when you're a heavy regular email user. i found myself go "oh ffs you piece of shit how does it make sense" too much at it so emailing became too much of a chore with it. fuck i feel like some grandad cursing at ipod.

Seriously? How much easier can you get then clicking a compose button, and typing the address (which auto lookups no less) of the recipient?

eugene Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 no it's not composing, just the whole concept of it still feels counter intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geosmina Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I don't use it anymore. It's actually confusing and like more difficult to use it. I prefer the simple gmail app... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugene Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 yes, this whole thing is based on the assumption that people use email like a to do list, and it's ok when it doees coincide, but often it quite simply doesn't. it's still more comfortable to use gmail as a chronological list of convos and other messages and updates that you can easily get back to, "star" important things and unstar them when the are not important anymore.

doublename Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I just switched to the new Outlook (I know, I know) app for android and ios. Seems much more functional and intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I just switched to the new Outlook (I know, I know) app for android and ios. Seems much more functional and intuitive. It's a good first step on Microsoft's part - still not quite there to replace the default Mail app on iOS (if you are using it in a corporate environment) though.
