Pour email onto the table

Come in and try

What it is

You can connect Gmail or Outlook and pour the inbox out onto a table. There you can gather them into stacks, islands, or buckets, and archive them in the mailbox when you are done with them.

Where to find it

  1. Connect Gmail or Outlook under Connected mailboxes in Edit profile
  2. Open Tables
  3. Open a table
  4. Press Pick pieces and choose Taps
  5. Choose a mailbox, select the messages, and press Place on the table

Why it matters

The inbox is a long list. What needs sorting, prioritizing, or sharing with others sits there among everything else — and you have to hold in your head what belongs together. Exporting, saving, and moving is too many steps, so it stays put.

When you can pour the messages onto a table, they become things you can move and gather. You see what belongs together, and can archive them in the mailbox once they are in place — without losing your grip in an endless thread.
