allright, let´s play this game, from your help page: > An email inbox is unorganized
Mine isn´t. Between folders and labels, my inbox is clean and organised. > Email chains easily become long and difficult to read, and can splinter off into multiple chains
The multiple threads/chains is a feature. I want to be able to splinter off a discussion. Also, if you frequently have massive email chains, you might want to just call a webex. > when someone goes on vacation or leaves your team, progress grinds to a halt
That is an organisational problem, not a communications-tool problem. > your email inbox is just one of many places where your team communicates.
And twist is going to be yet another place to look.[rehash of email is bad] > On top of that, Twist gives your team the space to get deep work done by allowing you to snooze all notifications.
So, like slack, snoozed, but looks like email? When I need to put my head down to get stuff done I switch stuff off, which appears to be the easier option. |

Email never interrupts me. I have all audible and popup notifications turned off and generally check if I have new email only when it suits me. I make this super fast and simple by checking if my email icon on my phone has a little red number. Takes two seconds. If I have email, I can read them, if I don't, great.
Like you, I use filters and labels to keep my inbox clean. Automated emails and mailing lists get filtered away right away (and I check them manually when I feel like it). My inbox itself then takes a few seconds to clean leaving only stuff I have to act on. I use the Spark mail client which is very similar to google inbox in that I can quickly deal wia h messages or "snooze" those I can't deal with right now.
This way, I have zero unread messages in my inbox most of the time. (And I get OCD when I see other peopl ea phones or screenshots with 30k unread messages... wtf is wrong with people!)
