Follow-Up Reminders
Sometimes during an e-mail conversation one tends to miss a beat, especially if either of the parties are getting a lot of mails. While some people intentionally do not reply to e-mails, there are others who might forget due to the hectic pace of the work, or because the mails are buried under a pile of mails. With this new update to Inbox by Gmail, if you have not received replies on a mail you would be notified with a reminder like: “Sent 4 days ago. Follow up?” This is a really cool feature from Inbox by Gmail.
Reply Reminders
