Comment on A more modern Gmail app for Androidparent

Comments

Seems like it's intentionally left out to 'gently encourage' the user to immediately take action with a pin, snooze, or done.

Ok, that's fine, but I have existing gmail filters that send 'promotions', automated emails, etc... far & away from the inbox. What's the plan with those?

Sometimes I like to peruse the ones that I've not yet acknowledge receipt of and either j/k + x to select the ones I want to dismiss outright, which I can still do in Inbox, and then shift-i/click mark as read to mark em my equivalent of 'done'...

The actions presented in Inbox will leave the 'unread' business to ever grow and clutter any IMAP connected application and searches like is:unread.

Edit: Maybe the more troubling aspect of the removal of the 'unread' handling is that these emails will certainly go unseen/missed which is bad.
