Adjust the settings as needed, enabling or disabling and customizing any of the following features:
Auto-reply message: Set up an automatic response to any recipients who may email you while your Inbox Pause letting them know when you expect to get back to them.
Delivery exceptions: Whitelist messages sent with high importance, specific email addresses (e.g. supervisors, execs, etc.), domains (e.g. important clients, your teammates, etc.), and/or words (e.g. "urgent," "time-sensitive," etc.) so that you still get the important emails while your Inbox is paused. Delivery Exceptions is a Pro Subscription plan feature. You can upgrade your
Gmail account or
Outlook account for access.
Unpause automatically: Pick a time for your Inbox to automatically unpause so you don't need to remember to unpause it when you return to your Inbox.
Hide label (Gmail only): While your Inbox is paused, incoming emails will get stored in the Inbox-Paused-[Date] label that we automatically generate for you until you unpause your Inbox. If you're still having trouble avoiding looking at the number go up on that folder, you can enable this setting to bury the label so it's less distracting

Once you've got your Inbox Pause settings configured just the way you like it, tap
Pause Now to confirm. You'll get an email letting you know your Inbox is paused, and you can unpause at any time using the link in that email--even if the device doesn't have Boomerang installed!
