Email is an aging form of communication, and many people have stopped using it simply because it has become so hard to manage their inbox. Apps like Mailbox have come along to make email management easier, and Google have added a few features like Priority Inbox to streamline your mail, but new rumors seem to indicate that Google has something planned that could change the way we use our email.
In a report on Android Police, Google’s Project Bigtop could be an update to Gmail, which recently added support for a handful of other email providers, or a standalone service available on multiple platforms. The service will allow users to categorize, pin and snooze emails. It will also allow users to mark email as “done”, which seems to be similar to archiving and will allow for a clutter-free inbox.
It is worth noting that in the screenshots there is no Google branding whatsoever, which could also hint that Project Bigtop will be a standalone service. If this service ever comes to fruition, it could be a very handy tool and could further solidify Google as the masters of email. As with any rumor, this should be taken with a grain of salt, but the evidence is pretty convincing. It will be interesting to see the final product. Any readers out there getting excited? Let us know in the comments below!
