How can we de-stress someone’s inbox?

What - A digest is a bundle of emails that is delivered to your inbox three times a day: Morning, afternoon and evening. Instead of emails directly appearing in your inbox, we packaged emails into digest bundles so you can open emails when you it’s convenient for you. This way, it doesn’t busy up your inbox.

Why - Initially, we didn’t design/build labels because we believed in our core structure to be enough organization for our users. Over time, we got many messages from our users saying that it was a critical part of their workflow from Gmail.

Since our email client was synced from Gmail, it was important for us to meet that product parity so that from the business perspective, we didn’t lose our user base. Ultimately, it was important for us to unblock our users’ workflows.

Role - Lead design + product management.
