I'd love to dump Gmail for this slick, private email–but there's a catch (Fast Company)

Skiff is a great idea, and beautifully designed. It's just missing too many table-stakes features. I'd love to dump Gmail for this slick, private ...

Skiff is also missing a bunch of other features that are nice to have in Gmail (and common fare in other email apps). There’s no undo send button, custom signature support, print menu, emailing, or snooze function. But Proton’s free tier is stingier at 500 MB, and both its search and navigation feel slower than Skiff. It’s also missing the ability to snooze and schedule emails, and to intelligently sort emails into categories. The biggest missing feature for me is an auto-sorting system akin to Gmail’s Promotions tab, which keeps dozens of marketing messages from reaching my inbox on a daily basis. This may be a trivial thing to care about, but I’m enamored with Skiff’s font and icons. As a longtime Gmail user, switching to Skiff is tempting. The app is also beautiful, with none of the forced product tie-ins that make Gmail feel bloated.

Hybrid Working: The Rise of the After-Hours Email (The Hippocratic Post)

Both employees and employers are becoming more proactive when it comes to looking after their mental health. The benefits of hybrid working have never been more ...

In the case of out-of-hours emails, all employers and team leaders need to play their part in discouraging this practice from continuing and introduce policies that help re-establish the lost boundaries between work and home. Focusing on workplace wellbeing also requires a flexible approach, with varied health and wellbeing policies that can fit around the individual needs of both office and home workers. Sending and responding to emails outside of normal working hours can also harm job performance. Meanwhile, another study concluded that the increase in emails both during and after work has meant that the average workday is now almost 50 minutes longer. These worrying increases in work hours have led to various calls for bans on after-work emails. One study conducted by Fasthosts in 2022 revealed that almost half of British office workers were receiving 5–10 work emails outside of their contracted hours every day. However, even now after they’ve been lifted and more people are returning to offices, working from home is an effect of the pandemic that is likely to last. Hybrid Working: The Rise of the After-Hours Email: The past two years have seen a major shift in how and where employees work, and what they value when it comes to employment. The Great Resignation, for example, is a global phenomenon that has at least partly been caused by workers placing more focus on what they need and want from a job. Over one-third of Brits have been working from home at least once a week in 2022 so far. Implementation of hybrid or flexible working has been on the rise. Both employees and employers are becoming more proactive when it comes to looking after their mental health.
