Customizing Snooze Times
complete
J. Dean Zikria
I would like the preset snooze times to be specifically set to 7am in future days (7am tomorrow, 7am two days from now, 7am three days from now, 7am one week from now, etc.). When you think about peoples' workflow, snoozed emails can be programmed to pop back to the inbox for a specific time in the morning (like 7am), so the user can then address their newly un-snoozed emails in their inbox. This is especially helpful as some people use their inbox as a sort of task list.
Is there a way to customize the pre-set snooze times to 7am (or another time) on future days to better fit this workflow?
Thank you.

Yeah, you took away the customization - when is that coming back?
Fabian
Joshua, the fully customizable time intervals are unlikely coming back, but if you told us about your use case or workflow, then we could come up with something for the next release

Fabian: I tend to use 4 hour delays for sending (preventing ping ponging). Other than that, next business day is a killer feature for me. (I believe that got removed). I also use next week, and specific snoozing and send later
J
Joshua Brinen
Fabian: Please bring make a "next business day" preset at minimum.
Fabian
Joshua, we plan to add an option to use working hours for the Send Later dialog. By this, you can use the "Tomorrow" option, which effectively means "Next working day" when the aforementioned option is active.

Fabian: That's a good work around - but I think the ability to do both is important - I have one mail program for both personal and business

emails should reappear at the top of the inbox when they become un-snoozed. If an email un-snoozes after a week I will never see it if it shows up back in it's original position -this is the way gmail works.

This is the number 1 issue for me to continue using Mailbutler. I've tried it in the Spark mail app and it has the ability to snooze until "later today, tomorrow, weekend, next week, in a month, and custom." These can all be configured with default times, as in tomorrow means tomorrow at 7 AM, not 24 hours from now as with Mailbutler. Please make this happen.

+1 on snooze customization, additional presets and keyboard shortcuts. I used to use something called AirMail which included these features.
My most common workflow was to use a keyboard shortcut to reveal the snooze pane and select the "this weekend" option. This would snooze my email to Saturday at the preconfigured start of my day. This is the missing ingredient to a stellar MailButler workflow.
One related nitpick is that the current "use custom date" option uses the present time rather than the start of day. This means that to snooze to a non-preset day, I have to first set the date and then set the time. Would be so much simpler if I could just click the date (e.g. Saturday) and not have to enter the time to my preset start of day.
Thank you for your consideration. Cheers.

Fabian Thanks for the recent time presets. Is there a plan to add "this weekend" as a preset? Perhaps I'm unique, but my most common action is to snooze something received during the week until the weekend when I have more time to address. Happy to request this via new thread if it would help with consideration. Cheers.
Fabian
Todd, "this weekend" is already part of the latest time presets. Please make sure that you are using our latest version
Todd Michael Bushnell
Fabian: Thanks for the response. I'm on "Version: 5112 (2250029)" and don't see it. I just checked for updates and received message that I'm current. I further confirmed that I don't have any "weekday only" snooze constraints. Curious why I don't see these.
Fabian
Todd, how did you check for updates? Have you clicked on "Check for update" in the sidebar's menu?
Todd Michael Bushnell
Fabian: I have. Here's a screenshot confirming.

Fabian I tried re-downloading and reinstalling Mailbutler and that gave me a newer version that includes this feature. Just appears that the inline
update
feature was not working. Issue resolved. Thanks!N

(posting on behalf of a user) Just like you have 9am and 5pm as common options in the top part of the sub-menu, it would be nice to have a couple quick-buttons for those when choosing a custom date, rather than having to type it each time.

Morning/Evening in calendar snooze

I like the little calendar popup to pick a date when snoozing messages in the Apple Mail plugin. However, I find myself, after selecting the day I want the reminder, to have to adjust the time of that day manually. It'd be great if I could click "morning" or "end of day" after picking the day.

Right now, we can set the snooze times but ideally I'd LOVE to have more keyboard shortcuts than just CMD-SHIFT-B for Snooze. I'd love to shortcut, "snooze till the evening/morning" or other such times as well as the default!
