So the app on my phone stopped working. I uninstalled it, got an old apk from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/inbox/inbox-1-77-211024352-release-release/inbox-by-gmail-1-77-211024352-release-2-android-apk-download/download/
Installed it, turned off auto-updates for the app, and it works on my phone again. Still working in my browser for now too (Eastern US).
absolutely true. a $4.99 monthly plus added features on Inbox would have been nice. but they've just killed their own product. already moving away my accounts that are tied to google. going into a more secure protonmail even though it is just a plain email client but way secure than google. de-google myself and used takeout.google.com to get a copy of the photos, google drive, etc. using non-google products like hooktube.com instead of youtube
The Netherlands here and web still works for me. I stopped using the mobile app and went to gmail on mobile (not happy with it, but yeah...), but read this morning on androidpolice that older versions of the inbox app still work on android and i can attest that version 1.77 still works for me (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/inbox/inbox-1-77-211024352-release-release/)
They only hid the page. Try this link and make sure it opens through the Play Store app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.inbox
Alternatively, go to the left sidebar and click on "My apps and games." If you recently downgraded the Inbox app, it should be right at the top.
Click on it, then click on the 3 dots on the top-right, and uncheck "Enable auto update." Then it won't update by itself.
Make sure to not accidentally click on "update all" in the Play Store later, otherwise it will update regardless of that setting.
I've uninstalled store based inbox app and downloaded one from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/inbox/inbox-1-77-211024352-release-release/inbox-by-gmail-1-77-211024352-release-2-android-apk-download/download/
Dude thanks, that apk version still works!
I got the it's over notification, uninstalled, and downloaded that apk and it's up and running. Thanks!
Here's a link for the laze bastards.
not the solution you are looking for, but i use this (https://www.emailthis.me/) to email sites to me (extension in chrome, on mobile i can mail to [email protected] and it sends a nicely condensed email) that's not coming form me.
Second solution i use is the Rename mail extension in chrome.
Just some tips, although i hope they decide to keep inbox alive. It's allround better, faster and nicer.
> Why not use the officially supported web-interface?
The usual reason is to add features that Google won't add and that are hard or impossible to implement with a browser extension. For example, I use GPMDP because it exports currently playing info to the filesystem so you can use it in scripts. I am not seeing what Inboxer does that would justify adding an electron app to my desktop though.
Yeah but..I'm here right now because I'm using another Inbox replacement called flow-e. I was happy with that and didn't know about Darwin until now, but a few weeks back their team posted this on their blog:
https://flow-e.com/blog/personal-kanban/gmail/important-announcement-the-future-of-flow-e-for-gmail/
Basically due to a new GDPR compliance check requirement they would have to pay a lot of money just to be certified by a third party and they decided it was not worth the financial risk. I had spent a lot of time getting used to their system and now in 5 days I'll lose everything, AGAIN. I'd happily pay the 25$ for your product, which I'm checking out right now and it's shockingly similar to inbox, so I'm ok with it, but I just need to know if this is going to happen again, or if the GDPR compliance thing is not going to affect your product's availability in any region..
When Inbox was sadly stopped I did a trial of all mail clients, suggested in forums like this one. There was nothing even close to it.
The other day someone suggested Spike, not Spark, but Spike. I am starting to really liking it. It can bundle mails by subject or by people and has "Others". Mails are grouped by Today, Yesterday, This Month. Much like the Inbox. It misses the accordion style list and you cant collapse and expand section (at least I did not found). But the app is excellent in terms of design, usability, performance. I was able to swipe and archive (like I did with Inbox) group of mails and organized it in a matter of minutes. There is a mobile (Andorid and iOS), desktop and web (!!!) clients.
I am using the free offering and do not see any limitations for the moment.
Hope that helped someone in pain with gmail!!!
What all are you using to access your Gmail account: the web interface (https://mail.google.com/), an e-mail client (Apple Mail, Thunderbird), a mobile app (iOS, Android), something else?
Basically, if it has the Inbox label then it HAS to be in the Inbox, unless there's some outside access to the account messing things up.
