Once you receive Inbox invite, you need to login to activate Inbox for your account. When you login, Inbox scans your email account. Inbox categorizes all your emails and presents important parts of the email first. It then groups similar emails as “Bundles”, named by type (e.g., “Social” or “Updates”). You can create custom “Bundles” like Gmail filters, and can specify the time of day to show the Bundle.
