Google Inbox

[Funk]

I'm in. Certainly different, will take some getting used to....!

[mids]

Liking a lot of what has been introduced. Emails delayed by location is something I'll use regularly. Not convinced by having to drill down into the sub-folders before being able to open emails but maybe will get used to that quickly.

Switching off bundles would do away with that, wouldn't it?

[LordGrover]

It certainly helps keep things tidy.
Feels odd having an empty inbox though...

[Bigbox]

If anyone has a spare invite, i would love to give this a go!!

Thanks

[Tycho]

I now have 3 invites so the 1st 3 emails will get one.

I guess so but feels like turning off a chunk of the new functionality. I'll persevere, probably won't even notice it after a few days.

[LordGrover]

I too have an invitation button now - two left.
As I guess some of the above requests are already in, please PM email address if you'd like one.

Invitations sent.

Many thanks for the invite, i really like this at first glance. I could certainly see my using it more than the Gmail app.

Am I alone in wanting reminders to come up on Google calendar though? But, am i looking at it all wrong..should a to-do list be on the calendar, or is it a different thing?

My wife and I plan our family life using our shared calendars on Google and I've got into the habit of checking that. I wonder if I need to just let Inbox remind me of the tasks I have to do, that don't revolve around the family life etc.

I use reminders in Google Calendar a lot. There is also a to-do list in Google Calendar; it's called Tasks.
Tasks are just calendar entries without an associated date/time

ETA
It seems that's not quite right. You can actually create a Task with a Due Date

Did you see my post the other day?

... and similarly on the way, a revised google calendar: click.

I guess there may be plans afoot...

Have got the new GMail 5 update as well? Integrates non-Gmail accounts into the GMail system. So you don't need them as IMAP accounts, one down-side is you don't get a combined inbox yet, that you could use with the IMAP accounts.

Google tasks has always seemed a bit rubbish to me though. I was hoping that reminders in Inbox, and likewise reminders in Google Now, would automatically be added to the calendar.

As Lord Grover points out above, this might be coming soon in the Calendar update.

Love to see reminders like that although I'd love to be able to add more than "Home" and "Work" to location based reminders so I can put markers down on the junction I come off the motorway at. If I need to go to the shops I turn right and to go home I turn left. Having a reminder to go to the shops when I get to that junction would be fantastic.
