The Inbox is a new approach to email. It’s like Google Now take Gmail account and turn into something more intelligent, simple and designed for mobility. Currently available by invitation only, the Inbox was released independently and not as an immediate replacement for Gmail. Google wants to first improve the product and evaluate feedback from users to it, before eventually take you to the mainstream .
At least that is what transpired in a Reddit AMA, Thursday, attended by Jason Cornwell (Interaction Designer), Vijay Umapathy (Product Manager) and Taylor Kouřim (Software Engineer).
“The Inbox is new and it is That’s what launched as a separate product. We worry too much about Gmail and its users, but in the long run, as we add new features to the Inbox, we hope that users want to use the Inbox instead of Gmail “, said Jason Cornwell, adding that “ultimately the choice is the responsibility of the user” .
In other words, the Inbox is a new Gmail, but it is A new Gmail that no one knows whether it will be new Gmail. That is, the intention is to replace the Google Gmail Inbox by, but until then there is still a lot of stone to go, and the Inbox can not even move from a failed attempt.
News the path
In the Reddit AMA, the Inbox team promised news, which will approach the Inbox to Gmail. The ability to use more than one email address (currently the Inbox only allows sending emails address @ gmail.com) and support for Google Apps are two such news. The job list is also support for other browser (currently the Inbox only works in Chrome) and the ability to edit the notification ring when an email is received.
Cornwell said that “There is a long list of Gmail features that eventually reach the Inbox” and noted that “want to keep a balanced balance between bringing these features and develop new functionality specific to the Inbox, according to the concept of product “. Integration with Google Drive and apps for tablets are, for example, two current Inbox failures relative to Gmail.
