Snoozing
Snoozing temporarily hides a conversation until a specific time, then brings it back to your Inbox. Use it to defer emails you can't deal with right now without losing track of them.
How to snooze
Select a conversation
Click the clock icon in the toolbar, or press ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + J
Pick a time
Preset times

Or pick any date and time from the calendar.
Natural language
Type times naturally in the command bar, like "next Tuesday at 3pm" or "in 2 hours". Missive interprets your input and shows matching options.
Snooze options
Discard snooze if someone replies
When enabled, the snooze is cancelled if someone replies to the conversation before the snooze time. Useful for follow-up reminders where you only want to be reminded if you don't hear back.
Leave in Inbox
By default, snoozed conversations are removed from your Inbox until the snooze time. Enable this option to keep the conversation visible in your Inbox while still getting reminded at the snooze time.
Snooze for me vs everyone
In shared conversations, you can choose who the snooze applies to:
Snooze for me — Only you are reminded when the snooze ends. The conversation returns to your Inbox.
Snooze for everyone — All participants are reminded. The conversation returns to the Team inbox.
Finding snoozed conversations
Snoozed conversations appear in the Snoozed mailbox. To access it:
Click + Pin to sidebar
Select Snoozed
Snoozed conversations also appear in the Calendar view on their scheduled date.
Discard snooze
To cancel a snooze and bring the conversation back immediately:
Select the snoozed conversation
Press ⌘/Ctrl + J, or
Open the snooze menu and click Discard snooze
Customizing snooze times
Customize the default times and enable additional options:
Go to Settings > Preferences > Snoozes
Adjust the times for each preset
Enable or disable options you don't use
You can also add custom time slots like "Early morning" or "Late afternoon" with your preferred times.
Snoozing with rules
Use Rules to automatically snooze conversations based on conditions. For example, snooze low-priority emails until the end of the day, or snooze messages received outside business hours until the next morning.
