If you didn't hear the news, Google Inbox — Google's beloved email client that launched back in 2014, shut down yesterday. This means that if you're a Google Inbox user, you're now being forced to switch to Gmail. 

Google announced it would be sunsetting Google Inbox last September, and needless, to say people have been upset.

“Can't remember ever being more excited to share a Google product with the world. Has completely changed how I use email.” - Ken 

“Can't upvote any harder. Combines a lot of my favorite Google Now / Gmail Labs features into a much better package.“ - Ece
