#BOOMERANG FOR GMAIL REVIEW 2017 FREE#
Every time you get interrupted by an email notification, it can take up to 20 minutes to regain focus, so this feature is perfect for when you need to put your head down and focus on a presentation, want to get through the emails already in your Inbox, or simply want a relaxing weekend free from work-related distractions The average email user gets upwards of 100 messages a day, which translates to a lot of pocket vibrations, desktop pop-ups, and lapses in focus. You can pause (and unpause) your Inbox at any time, temporarily hiding incoming messages from appearing in your Inbox and preventing notifications.

Inbox Pause gives you control of when messages arrive in your Inbox. Today, we’re happy to announce Inbox Pause, a new feature available in both Boomerang for Gmail and Boomerang for Outlook that addresses these issues. Every time you need something from your Inbox, a bunch of new emails are staring right at you. Or you need to know when something is due. Or you need to search for information that someone emailed you. Or you’re preparing for a meeting with someone, and you want to review your last conversation. Before you can even get to the compose button, there they are – an enticing set of brand new emails. You finish a presentation or a report, and you need to email it to someone. A lot of work touches email, so it’s easy to get sidetracked in your Inbox when you’re trying to get something else done. And best of all, participants in studies that limited email checking have reported feeling like they were more productive, with much more time to focus on important, valuable work.īut in practice, it isn’t easy at all. Their average response times were right in line with people who check email all the time. Participants in a study who followed this advice saw increases in heart rate variability, which indicates lower stress levels. Just turn off email notifications, check email three or four times a day, and don’t look at your Inbox any other time. You’d probably think it was a scam.īut new research shows there is in fact one weird email trick that has all these benefits, and the idea is startlingly simple.

On occasion I've also had to reset the product due to it not functioning at all.Imagine you saw an ad for “one weird email trick” that could help you feel less stressed and get more done, while still responding to messages just as quickly. For example sometimes scheduled mail is not sent as it should be or not sent at all. The only cons I've came across are occasionally inconsistencies or errors. This product also tells me rather or not outgoing mail was read, very helpful for any email campaigns or email marketing/advertising! CONS

I can set up emails to be sent back to me preventing important threads from getting lost in my inbox. When using this feature I'm able to choose specifically which inboxes are paused, it dosent have to be all or none which is so convenient.
#BOOMERANG FOR GMAIL REVIEW 2017 PRO#
It is very easy to use and works wonderfully with Gmail! The main pro for me is the ability to set reminders and schedule outgoing mail (rather it be a new thread or a response) I can also pause an inbox if I'm away or busy and set boomerang to automatically respond. I like so many things about this product. The price is affordable and the value for money is great. This tool is wonderful for anyone who uses email for work, it is especially useful if you have multiple inboxes or a high volume of mail. The quality and level of features were surprisingly high! We have benefitted very much so and we enjoy using it. My overall experience has been positive and I am very happy with this product.
