Make a mail disappear temporarily and reappear at the right time with the ‘Snooze’ feature in Gmail. This keeps the inbox clear.
Overview in mailbox
Do you like a tidy Gmail inbox, but do you have emails that you need to do something with later? Snooze (English for snooze or postpone) that then. As a result, the e-mails temporarily disappear from the mailbox. They will reappear at the top of the mail overview at a set time. This way you don’t forget to answer or pick up the e-mails. Until then, the inbox is tidy and well-arranged.
