Search finishes while you type

Threads are indexed as they arrive instead of on a schedule, so results appear as you type. from:, label: and has:attachment all read from the same index.

02

Labels can belong to a workspace

A shared label shows the same threads to everyone who has access, and renaming it updates every mailbox at once. Personal labels are unchanged.

03

Notifications arrive grouped

Alerts are batched by thread on a five-minute cadence. A reply to a message you sent still comes through straight away.
