Received Inbox invite last night and tried both, Android as well as Desktop versions. I am loving it. I like the way it has bundled all the invoices from various online portals, Air tickets purchase history, Social mails etc. Desktop version is very good too.
Here is new thread.

LOL. That bundling thing is what I just loathed. Could not understand the benefit of bundling my rather important emails! But probably good for people who gets a lot of emails, unimportant.

For me, bundling is important. I used to assign Labels to all of my emails for better management. Thumbnails of Invoices, Air Tickets, Bills along with little bit info in arranged manner was what I needed for a long time and Inbox is doing that for me pretty well. Snooze and Reminder features are also good.ithehappy said:

No reason to not work in Opera as its a direct fork of Chrome. When ms was pushing IE downs everyone's throat we had outrage, class action lawsuits. Now that google is pushing chrome browser with android, making google+ integration with playstore, and inbox open with chrome only no one gives a damn.

It's not working in Opera...
What is different
-Profile Pictures of sender displayed next to emails. If one is not set, it is a colored circle with the first Initial of the person.
-Mails are automatically segregated into some groups, so basically google is doing the labeling and sorting because you too lazy to do it. This feature is called "bundling" and can be disabled
-Bundles are Travel (tickets), Purchases (invoices), Finance (statements), Social (networks), Updates, Forums (discussions and groups), Promos (almost spam)
-[strike]Could have been better with the ability to configure your own bundles using filters similar to applying labels in the old gmail[/strike]
-So far, the bundling has worked pretty well at picking out the mails into the relevant bundles... except for the Travel bundle, which seems to be able to handle only flight tickets and not bus tickets.
-Each mail has pin, snooze and done option so prioritize replying and handle how it displayed
-Already existing labels are skipped from inbox into their own groups, and some are not bundled
-Starred feature has disappeared, so have to use older gmail to access your starred mails
-Pinned emails is the new starred (Im guessing)
-Compose button is a + sign on bottom right, that automatically lists recently mailed to contacts
If I get an invite, will pass it on

Aaaand I'm out.
I use starred to keep track of important mails that are archived. Inbox does not allow us to keep a mail as important in archive mode. If its pinned its always there. I DO NOT WANT THAT. I do not want my payslip from lat year to always show up in top, but do want them to be starred or something like that.
It's still beta, you could suggest them to return it.

Return it how?

Inbox layout looks like it is missing some thing. It seems some thing is empty there. It looks like a bare email client.
I am not sure what the reporting process is, I don't have an invite yet, but you can contact them with an email and request them to include it.
