How to Boomerang (Snooze) an email
Use Boomerang to take messages out of your inbox until you actually need them. At the time you choose, we'll bring it back to your inbox, marked unread, flagged, or even at the top of your message list. Boomerang can be used after selecting an email from your Inbox or opening the email in a new window.
