A Request for a Startup: Gmail 'Waiting For Reply' Tab

Couldn&#x27;t you just give those conversations an Unreplied label? It will show up on the left.<p>Gmail&#x27;s labeling system is probably the most useful but overlooked feature they have.

You can just build an extension or addon. I don&#x27;t see revenue for that kind of model (the only possibility is that someone makes a dashboard aggregates data from multiple accounts, multiple providers). You can try to achieve this with the help from reusing <a href="https://github.com/KartikTalwar/gmail.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;KartikTalwar&#x2F;gmail.js</a> or similar attempt.

Building a platform on top of a Google product, specifically Gmail, is a recipe for disaster. I sincerely hope that nobody who cares about their money or sanity does so.

I want the opposite.<p>When I receive a mail, I want to set a timer saying: &quot;this needs to be answered before noon&quot;, or &quot;today&quot; or &quot;by the end of the week&quot;. Then get relevant reminders.<p>That way I can go back to whatever I was doing and have it out of my mind. For now I just star messages that need to be replied to, but that&#x27;s too coarse-grained.

Check out ActiveInbox: <a href="http://activeinboxhq.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;activeinboxhq.com</a>. Been one of their happy customers for a long time now. When reviewing an email, I hit &#x27;waiting&#x27; on their action bar, and then they show up as a radar list (their take on multiple inboxes). Loved it so much I paid for it.

In my email, I have &quot;Waiting for reply&quot; and &quot;To reply&quot; labels (besides a few others). An algorithmic solution to auto-apply the labels would be nice (currently all new outgoing emails are labelled as &quot;Waiting for reply&quot;).

Co-founder of Streak here: we&#x27;re happy to add this if there is enough demand. Just email us at waitingforreply@streak.com. If we get enough interest we&#x27;ll add it tonight. You&#x27;ll be able to use it for free.

I have written a &quot;snooze this email for X days&quot; extension for gmail. After X days the email is marked undead and moved to my inbox.<p>The extension is server-side, so you&#x27;re not tied to your desktop browser.

Anyone want to take my money? :) I&#x27;ll front a payment for the first month right now! (Serious)

If I didn&#x27;t reply, it&#x27;s because I don&#x27;t want to talk to you. <i>Please go away</i>.
