Google Can't Fix What's Really Wrong With Email: Us | Gizmodo India
It's important to read above article to know how inbox CAN NOT help us.
Personally I don't seem to need "Inbox" app. I can very well manage my GMail mailbox with the use of Filters, Rules, Spam control and Folders. I would rather start to manage them more effectively, than give permission to Google to invade my privacy in "legal way".
The reason I put "legal way" in quotes since Google right now does scan our emails for keywords to target Adwords but doesn't acknowledge it publically, but this attempt of "Inbox" just looks to me as giving every rights that we have as a netizen to open up our emails to them in a more legal way than before, to help their data mining.

I don't see much difference before and after Inbox regarding privacy as our emails are already being scanned for Ads. Though I haven't read the whole Terms & Conditions of Gmail but no one is private unless you're paranoid about it.

They do read our mail, experienced it first hand when I bought something from ebay, after I got the shipping info in email, a notification started showing up in google now as well as in chrome desktop and google homepage about that order till I got it in hand from the courier company.

This is what it is inspired from - Mailbox by Dropbox.
anyway, I disabled that Promotions, Social etc. categories. What it used to do was, create confusion for people who knew how you use e-mail. Some of us aren't halfwits who get spammed by unnecessary e-mails from Facebook, Digit and advertisement offers.

Yeah, my flipkart order updates too were popping up on Google now.
I think no company knows more about you than Google. They've injected themselves in your daily lives so much so that people's search habits have changed fundamentally. Like people will first search the web for diagnosing an illness. They have petabytes of personal data in their hard drives that can scare people as we use the web more than we ever did & Google makes use of this in our computers. Think about the number of places from where you can do Google Search.

Sleeker ai, some intelligent functions most of which you can automate easily. This is like a more intuitive mail client for the masses. Not something I'm eagerly waiting for.
