Busy Gmail inbox? The ‘snooze’ feature lets you temporarily hide an email and have it reappear at a date and time when you’re ready to act on it.
Here’s how to set it up:
- Hover over the email in your Gmail inbox.
- Click the clock icon (Snooze) on the right.
- Choose a preset time like “Tomorrow” or “Next week”, or click “Pick date & time” to choose your own.
- The email will disappear from your inbox and return at the scheduled time – marked as unread and flagged for attention.
What it’s for:
Keeps your inbox clear and helps you deal with non urgent emails at the right moment: ideal when you’re on the move, in meetings or just prioritising.
Pro tip: Snoozed emails appear in your Snoozed tab on the left hand menu, so you can check or reschedule them at any time.
