Google Inbox is retiring. Google Gmail CEO Matthew Izatt revealed today that the company will withdraw the Google Inbox in 2019.
Google launched Inbox in 2014 as an alternative to the popular Gmail service. At the time, many speculated that Google would move all Gmail users to the Google Inbox.
Inbox is an experimental application that could be easily accessed by all Gmail users as it uses the same account and data sources as Gmail.
The Google Inbox started as a service in 2014 only for prcalls. Αργότερα, μία από τις κύριες ιδέες πίσω από το Inbοx ήταν ότι σχεδιάστηκε για να διευκολύνει τους χρήστες, ταξινομώντας τα μηνύματα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου σε κατηγορίες και δεσμούς που καθορίζονται από το χρήστη (που λειτουργούν παρόμοια με τα φίλτρα του Gmail).
At the beginning of its four-year run, the service was exclusive to Google Chrome, didn't display multiple emails at once, even if you were working on a desktop, hid all labels by default, and didn't allowactivationof notifications.
In 2015, Google introduced a new feature in Inbox, which anticipate your answers, analyzing email messages. That is, it tried to speed up responses to an email by suggesting short responses that you could otherwise type manually in a few seconds.
Things were going smoothly since Google didn't pay much attention to Inbox. The company brought a new look and function to Gmail this year, introducing many functions of Inbox to it.
And so the moment of deconstruction came as Google revealed that it will close the Google Inbox in March 2019. Users using the Inbox are invited to go to Gmail. The company also published one support page, which says it will help users make this transition easier.
The page suggests to former Inbox users alternative techniques to get used to the Gmail environment. Suggests either the use of stars or custom labels. For bundles, Google suggests using filters and tags, and for reminders, Google Task or Google Keep.
The good news is that Inbox users are not going to lose their data when switching to Gmail since as we both said services they use the same data. The bad news is that some features aren't available in Gmail, and Inbox users may have to either use suggested alternatives, e.g. tags or filters, or to stop using certain functions because they are not available.
