How to use Snooze facility in Gmail?
You can snooze any message in
Inbox, if you wish to take action on it at a later time.
In the inbox listing of
messages any message can be selected and snoozed. There are options to put off
taking action till the next day or to weekend (Sunday) or to next week (beginning)
Monday. Or you can choose a date and time to ‘wake up’ using the calendar. On
the appointed day the message pending action is shown at the top of inbox.
Snoozing is a valuable tool.
Earlier I used to mark messages with different colour stars. This was confusing
as you do not keep updating / changing the colour of stars.
Unfortunately this snooze
option is available only in New Gmail.
I am a member of a discussion
group where I get a quiz / game to solve every day. It could be mathematical
question or a language based problem. Members are supposed to send answers to
quiz master directly before the end of the day. Answers along with details of
members who participated are announced next morning. Here snoozing works
brilliantly.
There is a snooze label on
the left column adjacent to message listing along with Inbox Drafts etc. Here
you will see all snoozed items. You can open and act upon any of them thus
pre-empting snoozing till specified period. It is like cancelling a timer
before the due/end time.

If you come across any
special uses of snooze as compared to google keep please let me know.
