Finally, Someone Has Made A 'Pause' Button For Emails

Written by Alyson Shontell | BusinesssInsider.com on .

92246650Aye Moah of Baydin Inc has done busy people everywhere  a giant favor.

She's created a Gmail/Chrome extension called INBOX  PAUSE. This glorious tool was discovered by The Next Web's Zee Kane.

It does exactly what you think it does. It prevents  any more emails from popping up in your inbox the moment you press the  "pause" button. Emails are stored in a hidden place until you're ready to  receive them.

What's more, INBOX PAUSE can send auto-replies to email  senders saying their messages were not received -- kind of like a voicemail box  that's run out of room.

When your inbox is paused, a Gmail-style yellow banner appears at the top of  your inbox that reads, "Your inbox is currently paused. Please click the blue  UNPAUSE button to see what's waiting for you."

INBOX PAUSE is currently available for Chrome.  "Take a break from email," the creator says. "Be Free."
