Googles new mail called "inbox"
It looks really good but I hate invite system. Registered at a few places to get early invite though.
Yeah I am waiting for the damn invitation too.

Google Can't Fix What's Really Wrong With Email: Us | Gizmodo India
It's important to read above article to know how inbox CAN NOT help us.
Personally I don't seem to need "Inbox" app. I can very well manage my GMail mailbox with the use of Filters, Rules, Spam control and Folders. I would rather start to manage them more effectively, than give permission to Google to invade my privacy in "legal way".
The reason I put "legal way" in quotes since Google right now does scan our emails for keywords to target Adwords but doesn't acknowledge it publically, but this attempt of "Inbox" just looks to me as giving every rights that we have as a netizen to open up our emails to them in a more legal way than before, to help their data mining.

I don't see much difference before and after Inbox regarding privacy as our emails are already being scanned for Ads. Though I haven't read the whole Terms & Conditions of Gmail but no one is private unless you're paranoid about it.
They do read our mail, experienced it first hand when I bought something from ebay, after I got the shipping info in email, a notification started showing up in google now as well as in chrome desktop and google homepage about that order till I got it in hand from the courier company.
after demise of orkut , I stopped using a lot of google services
Ah if anyone has an invite I will trade it for ello 
This is what it is inspired from - Mailbox by Dropbox.
anyway, I disabled that Promotions, Social etc. categories. What it used to do was, create confusion for people who knew how you use e-mail. Some of us aren't halfwits who get spammed by unnecessary e-mails from Facebook, Digit and advertisement offers.

Yeah, my flipkart order updates too were popping up on Google now.
I think no company knows more about you than Google. They've injected themselves in your daily lives so much so that people's search habits have changed fundamentally. Like people will first search the web for diagnosing an illness. They have petabytes of personal data in their hard drives that can scare people as we use the web more than we ever did & Google makes use of this in our computers. Think about the number of places from where you can do Google Search.
That Promotion, Social etc category was the first thing which I disabled the day they launched it.
I had my own rules to rule them all.

If anyone has invite please share.
There is already an inbox in gmail
Same here, I remember a bug where the categories could not be disable properly in the android app, its wasn't saving, I was pi$$ed as hell.
Seems Interesting.
How is this different from Gmail?
This one might come out of beta eventually.
Besides that?
Sleeker ai, some intelligent functions most of which you can automate easily. This is like a more intuitive mail client for the masses. Not something I'm eagerly waiting for.
wow i never knew sorting mails by type was called inbox.i hate it,indeed i use the basic html version
Google inbox seems similar to drop box's mailbox app
It will soon be rolled out to masses so who cares for invite system.
"inbox" has been there for ages, show us something new:

Got the bloody invite, yet I have no droid in my possession at this moment 
I am also getting invite today evening and two more for sharing tomorrow.
Can anyone send me an invite? Please pm me.
Whenever I receive share-able invite, I will send it you. PM me your Gmail email id.
One invite here please. In case anyone has.
If only the desktop version supported other browsers. I think Inbox *might* replace the gmail Android app eventually.
No chance. Both have very different purposes. Some people would like to see the mails old fashioned way.
I am one of them.
Got the official invite from google, very confusing bundle. Guess I'll keep using the old app.
T
I personally love gmail's categorisation. Inbox will make it easy to delete mails
Anyone who is willing to spare an invite here ??
PM me , if willing.
PM me , if willing.
I don't think the invitations can be shared.
Sharing is the whole point behind giving invites to a few. After receiving invite from Google or friend, you will receive 3 more invites in next two days for sharing only.

any one Have invite Let? I sended mail but still no official invite
They are shareable.
Google sends more Inbox invites; current users can invite more friends Thursday | Android Central
any one !I cant get online via Phone because i switched to idea Netsetter 
Is there any way to share !!!
Is there any way to share !!!
OP, why not maintain a list of people who are already on Inbox and a list of people who want invites. This way, if anyone has an invite, he can send to anyone on that list.

Received Inbox invite last night and tried both, Android as well as Desktop versions. I am loving it. I like the way it has bundled all the invoices from various online portals, Air tickets purchase history, Social mails etc. Desktop version is very good too.
Here is new thread.

Re: Googles new mail called "inbox"
LOL. That bundling thing is what I just loathed. Could not understand the benefit of bundling my rather important emails! But probably good for people who gets a lot of emails, unimportant.
For me, bundling is important. I used to assign Labels to all of my emails for better management. Thumbnails of Invoices, Air Tickets, Bills along with little bit info in arranged manner was what I needed for a long time and Inbox is doing that for me pretty well. Snooze and Reminder features are also good.ithehappy said:
So is there any one else than [MENTION=34917]Naveen.S[/MENTION] who got invite
nope haven't got it yet.
why they need it to be activated on phone first
^^ +1 that is the worst thing - forcing users
and it also works only on chrome as of now
No reason to not work in Opera as its a direct fork of Chrome. When ms was pushing IE downs everyone's throat we had outrage, class action lawsuits. Now that google is pushing chrome browser with android, making google+ integration with playstore, and inbox open with chrome only no one gives a damn.
It's not working in Opera...
What is different
-Profile Pictures of sender displayed next to emails. If one is not set, it is a colored circle with the first Initial of the person.
-Mails are automatically segregated into some groups, so basically google is doing the labeling and sorting because you too lazy to do it. This feature is called "bundling" and can be disabled
-Bundles are Travel (tickets), Purchases (invoices), Finance (statements), Social (networks), Updates, Forums (discussions and groups), Promos (almost spam)
-[strike]Could have been better with the ability to configure your own bundles using filters similar to applying labels in the old gmail[/strike]
-So far, the bundling has worked pretty well at picking out the mails into the relevant bundles... except for the Travel bundle, which seems to be able to handle only flight tickets and not bus tickets.
-Each mail has pin, snooze and done option so prioritize replying and handle how it displayed
-Already existing labels are skipped from inbox into their own groups, and some are not bundled
-Starred feature has disappeared, so have to use older gmail to access your starred mails
-Pinned emails is the new starred (Im guessing)
-Compose button is a + sign on bottom right, that automatically lists recently mailed to contacts
If I get an invite, will pass it on

Aaaand I'm out.
I use starred to keep track of important mails that are archived. Inbox does not allow us to keep a mail as important in archive mode. If its pinned its always there. I DO NOT WANT THAT. I do not want my payslip from lat year to always show up in top, but do want them to be starred or something like that.
It's still beta, you could suggest them to return it.
Return it how?
bring back that feature
There is a way to configure your own bundles though
there is a work around for that starred thing
you can search for "in:starred" to find your starred mails, but there is no way to add or remove a star

Inbox layout looks like it is missing some thing. It seems some thing is empty there. It looks like a bare email client.
^google chat? it has been merged with hangouts in inbox
Still not able to use hangout much on PC.
I am not sure what the reporting process is, I don't have an invite yet, but you can contact them with an email and request them to include it.
found someone who did that?
I am sure many people do that. There are people who actually report bugs or request features during beta.
finally got an invite
Got invites to share
How many days it took t get the invites to shareGot invites to share
Not sure 4 days I guess as soon as you get an invite

Got the invite from google itself.
Google Guaranteeing An Inbox Invite If You Request One Between 3 And 4PM PT Today (November 5th)
I got invite, should I use it?
If you shall need yes!
it depends, if you are using gmail 5.0 app dont use. If you add reminders and check them regularly then yes
This is basically E-mail in facebook style
More like whatsapp style
Not really. It just clubs mails together which makes it easier to go through what we want (this is great for people who get many emails every day).
Well I can say it is making my life a bit easy.

5 shareable invites available with me. PM me with your email if you are interested.
I too got 5 new fresh invites this week
Invites available any one for the grab?

Re: Googles new mail called "inbox"
I have invite left. Let me know in case if you still need it.
And please refrain from posting email IDs in public as such. You will start getting spammed.
You both have it now!

How many of you actually using the inbox coz I am using it and it is certainly a lot more helpful than gmail but with some corks.
No im not using it anyway.
Using it on my Tablet mostly. It's good for quickly going through mail as they're alreay grouped. Saves time.
I am also using it on my N7 2013. I always find it as a very good option for emails.
