Feature Request: Create folder for "Done" (archived emails in order of completion) like Inbox

[osakkers]

I use snooze as an important part of my workflow: Every email in my inbox is a task that needs to be done. Every snoozed email is a task that is to be done later. And every archived email is a completed task. Because of this workflow, the current setup functionality in Nylas is frustrating: 1) When an email is not in the inbox, it can't be snoozed or resnoozed for a new time. This means that emails that have accidentally been archived can't be returned to my inbox easily (super frustrating). It also means that emails that have snoozed can't be set to snooze for a new time. 2) There is no way to access archived emails (what in Inbox is labeled "done"). Which means that everything that has been archived is hard to find again.

It would make me very happy if: 1) There was a tab to access archived emails below the Inbox tab in the left hand window. 2) It was possible to snooze emails from any folder (including the snoozed folder), not just from the inbox.

Thanks!

For the first request, does the "All Mail" folder not work?

I hadn't even noticed it bc it's tucked away at the bottom (I'd prefer it to be directly under the inbox). It can work - but I'd prefer it not to include inbox mail and also for messages to be arranged according to when they were archived rather than when they were received. If I want to find an older email that has just been archived, it's really tough without search.

I'm not sure how easy it is to modify these kinds of things, but it might make sense to have two settings depending on workflow as to how snoozing and archiving work. Inbox is very much built around this concept of workflow (although it has other issues) as was Mailbox (RIP) - so they might be helpful references.

Got it! Merging the snooze request into #1779 and changing the scope of this issue.

One other thing: It would also be preferable that snoozed emails return to the inbox in the order that they were snoozed with some kind of tag showing that they were snoozed (Mailbox had a yellow circle in the place of the blue circle for unread mail). Right now, they just return without label and according to the date they were originally received on which makes them hard to keep track of.

And this is probably more complicated, but it would also be awesome if emails in the inbox could be rearranged like Trello tiles. Mailbox had this function on the iPhone app although not on desktop. Again: seeing email as a task list means that having ways to rearrange the order of "tasks" is very helpful for workflow.
