Great Video - I have 2 gmail emails one ends in my website - lately gmail has been acting different and it is difficult to manage them. Do you suggest putting them all back into one (which would be @my website ) ? If so, how would I do that?

[jessejames]

This is a power video, i like it. Thank you!

How did you insert an emoji (red sign) in that box?
What did you press to get the emoji list?

Just stumbled on this section tonight when I was making a new autoresponder message. Then I found your video looking for tips on this organizational tool. One thing - why only 5 sections? Wish we could add more. Wonder why there's a limit.

Hi! Can I use multiple from: email addresses in the same multiple inboxes section? If I have a "top clients" section, I would like multiple people's emails filtered to that folder. Is this possible?

[maheshbabu-petk]

Thanks for the wonderful information Scott. I am having bunch of lables..

Can you make a video on TRELLO & ZOHO from basics.

Do you make videos on wireframes ?

[alvinbuchanan]

Very Good video and a great narrative. If I create another inbox and call it UNREAD, how do I transfer all my unread messages from my main Inbox to the new Inbox?

[ambbarofficial]

The only feature Gmail needs to be perfect is having more options for formatting text.

[briancordero]

is there a way to customize the traditional inbox in a way so you dont have to see all the newsletters and unwanted notifications?

[ZotmundSzele]

I would probably use this method to create a kind of a unified inbox. I'd import my Yahoo and Outlook emails, label them and creat Inboxes.
My question: are these going to be reflected in any way in the Android app?

[missyb]

Found this while trying to find a way to expand/collapse all multiple inboxes. Any chance you know how to do it or if it is/isn't possible?

[jonathanelbaz]

Im finding that after setting up multiple inboxes, I now can't use a reading pane. When I select an email normally i would have the reading pane split the view so i can still see the rest of my inbox on one side and the message on the other. Now when i select one it opens the email full screen and i can't see the inbox. Is there a work around to keep my reading pane?
