How To Snooze Email in Gmail on Web Version

Business people who rely on Email communication receive hundreds of emails every day. To set a priority to the most important emails, you can snooze them.

Before, we've discussed snoozing email on mobile. It is a helpful feature for mobile users. The web version of Gmail also has the snooze email feature.

You could follow up with single or many emails. It doesn't need to be an unread email to snooze. Whether you read or unread, you can snooze all emails. You can even snooze sent emails.

All the settings for Gmail snooze in both mobile and web versions are the same. Only the platforms differ.

  • Pick any of the options. You can also fix a specific date and time other than the default dates and timings. For this, you need to select the Pick date & time option.
After setting Gmail snooze, the specific email will disappear from your inbox temporarily. 

You can either unsnooze or extend the snooze timings.

To do that,
