Inbox by Gmail Invite Thread
« on: Thu, 20 November 2014, 16:47:40 »
I have been trying the new Inbox by Gmail, and it's somewhat useful IMO. It bundles your email into groups, just like the Social and Promotions tabs in Gmail. You can then mark things as "done" if you would normally mark it read and archive it. I am an old school webmail kinda guy, so I resisted the change at first, but I can see how it might actually be useful.

You can also use the traditional Gmail interface along with it, if you want to switch back and forth. So you're not committed to the change if you don't like it (yet).

I have a few invites if others are interested. Just ask here in the thread. A FEW ONLY. :)

I'd be interested.

My workplace uses Gmail, and getting to access the new Inbox would be incredibly helpful.

I'm already using Inbox, but I don't know that they allow us to invite others? How is it done? I'm happy to extend invitation.

Hover the red '+' in the corner.  There will be a gold icon if you have any invites to give out.

I use gmail for work and school so this feature would be awesome to have access to.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

Well, looks like we have a few invite donors. I think I'll change this thread topic...

Just started using it and my first impression is the organizing looks great and I can't wait to see how it helps me work.

Can I get an invite if there's one ? For some reason, my email's aren't pushing to me when I'm on the native e-mail app.
It really sucks that I have to manually refresh to get it. (and yes, it's set to automatic (push)) :(

I'm pretty curious about it, but from what I've seen or read, I couldn't really see how it differs much from Mailbox or something like that?

I need to have a smartphone to activate it. Would someone do that for me? I will PM them my email and password. I just have to trust that you'd log out after you've done it.
