Hi HN,<p>I have been jamming on this new project and wanted to share it with you all. It’s inspired by Hey (the new email service) and the idea is to bring some of the concepts directly on top of Gmail.<p>ZenMail works as a browser extension (Chrome and Firefox currently). The core idea behind ZenMail is the concept of Screener, a new place where all unknown emails go and where you get to decide not only if you want to receive emails from someone but if you do, where they should automatically go (e.g. Inbox, Feed, or PaperTrail) with just a single click.<p>Under the hood, it uses Gmail labels and filters to add all these functionality. The extension therefore needs access to few Gmail permissions. This of course is a privacy concern. However, ZenMail is 100% local to your browser (except using Gmail APIs). I do not send or collect any information (also verified by Google’s Gmail API access process).<p>On roadmap is to add screening to any of your existing labels (available next week). I want to also add some sort of attachments viewer, contact page, email bundling, private notes and so on.<p>I would love it if you could try it out and share what you think of it. I would also love any ideas you have on how ZenMail could be more useful to you.<p>[Chrome] <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zenmail/kbhafnckenhchoejjiebccaehcnphgja" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zenmail/kbhafncken...</a><p>[Firefox] <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zenmail/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zenmail/</a><p>Pro-tip: When you install the extension and go to Screener, you will see it’s empty at the beginning as only new emails from now onwards will arrive here. As a one time action and to start setting rules, I highly recommend moving some of your emails (or all) from your Inbox to Screener (Gmail’s Move to)
