Feature Request: Bundle Profiles #37

in v1.5.0 you added option to include/exclude certain labels from being bundled. This is going to be very helpful for a lot of people! Thank you for that.

What do you think about having an ability to create different "bundle profiles"? At the moment, there is only one "primary profile" applied (that's the new option you added - exclude/include labels). What if user could add multiple profiles like that?

Here are a few examples:

Profile 1: (Standard) - bundles emails based on current labels + options.

Profile 2: (Sales) - emails related to sales (could be support, marketing, etc....).

Profile 3: (Notifications) - misc notifications.

Profile 4: (Staff) - emails sent to you from your staff/coworkers


It could be similar to how starred button worked (in your extension), the user could switch between the "profiles" easily and really drill down to their folders and stay away from distractions.

In addition, given the profiles, I would think an additional configuration option would be necessary to [_] Bundle other emails as Other. (Again, I assume the user has many labels and each profile should only present the user with what he is trying to do. Having an option to temporarily bundle all the other emails (that are not in the folder list specified in the profile) into an "Other" bundle.

Assume you have 50 labels and profile 4 is selected, the user would then see, bundles of:

This would also be helpful for people with multiple gmail accounts.

Thanks!

Interesting idea! I'll have to think about this some more. The bundle profiles remind me of the inbox tabs, but customizable.
