Hi, I think I'd find a podcast helpful as well. Thanks for taking the time to put it together if you do.

Sorts Email Right for You > > > Inbox takes the onus of sorting your email and does a pretty good job of it. > It places similar emails in groups called Bundles. > > When you’re setting up Inbox for the first time, you’ll get a prompt to > choose which type of emails you’d like to see grouped into a separate > bundle.

Learns What You Need > > > Inbox uses intelligent scanning to sort your emails, highlight key > information, and to provide suggestions for reminders, replies, and > searches.
