Two different jobs, one overloaded tool
Leaving something unread means "I need to deal with this". Leaving it read but near the top means "I am waiting on a reply". Starring it means something you decided in 2019 and have half-forgotten. None of these are commitments — they are hints you leave for your future self, and they degrade quickly as more mail arrives on top of them.
Get it out of sight, get it back on time
- Return tomorrow, next week, or on a specific date and time
- Comes back as an unread thread at the top of the inbox
- Skips the return when the conversation already progressed
- See everything scheduled in one list

When it turns out to be real work
- One-click capture with the Chrome extension in Gmail
- Or forward to your TIBLR address from any mail client
- The subject becomes the task title, the body becomes the detail
- The task keeps a link back to the original thread
What Email Assistant does
Return at the right moment
Schedule a message to come back tomorrow morning, next Monday, or on a specific date and time.
Skips what you already handled
If the thread got a reply while it was away, the return can be skipped. No re-reading a conversation that resolved itself.
Turn a thread into a task
Some emails are not follow-ups, they are work. Convert one into a task with an owner and a due date, and keep the link back.
One-click capture in Gmail
The Chrome extension adds a button to the Gmail interface, so capture happens where you are already reading.
Or just forward it
Send an email to your TIBLR address and it becomes a task. Works from any client, including your phone.
Fewer things to remember
The whole point is to stop using unread state and inbox position as a to-do list. They were never good at it.
