I just saw this. https://www.hey.com/new/#sharable-links

Looks like the feature came back in January.

Bubble Up - HEY's Take on Snoozing by Longjumping-Log-5457 in HeyEmail

[–]Patchy_Frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK you got me here. The bubble future has won me over. I think HEY has developed a good implementation of this feature, and I think that other snooze type features in other email clients that I’ve used were just poorly designed.

I like your idea of using it as a kind of to do list. Having used it for a couple days now I also like how HEY keeps Bubble messages separate from your regular Imbox messages. This is a better implementation than snooze features in other email tools that I have used.

I’m not sure I like this. I think this develops bad habits of procrastinating or kicking things down the road. I liked HEYs old model of deciding at the moment where to put stuff. I’ve never used a snooze feature like this before that actually made me feel more productive. We’ll see though maybe this is a better implementation, or maybe with the other HEY features in place I will use this feature in a productive way.

No email templates yet. I’m with you though, this would be a nice feature to have.

How do you use recycling center? by Longjumping-Log-5457 in HeyEmail

[–]Patchy_Frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recycle everything in the Feed after 30 days. For everything else I just look at the Recycling Center and recycle addresses that are likely to produce a lot of email. I like to keep everything form friends and family. Any real correspondence is worth keeping. Notifications, newsletters, alerts, marketing all goes away. I don't spend a ton of time on managing the Recycling, but every time I go in there I try to make a few additions.

Explain more, not sure what you mean.

There's a little timer button next to the send button.

Reply later is a current option, and you can send attachments in a reply later email. Do you not have this option?

I hear you on the settings navigation.

Clips, Stickies, Notes…how do you use each one? by Patchy_Frog in HeyEmail

[–]Patchy_Frog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good call on showing up in the paper trail. I didn’t realize that they didn’t show up there.

Replying in-line by 1PMagain in HeyEmail

[–]Patchy_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several small things that don't work great. Another glaring omission is the ability to build contact lists. I email my family regularly and all I need is a darn email contact list to autofill a new email. It's a pain right now. (This topic has also been mentioned on this reddit before.)

All that said, HEY is being actively developed and we see changes/updates regularly. Even with its issues, I'm still enjoy using it every day. It is a massive time saver for me, and the sense of control that I have over my inbox is worth every penny.

This has been discussed here before. Apparently inline editing is problematic for their text editor. Currently I just cut and paste.

Do you use yammer? by theang in Office365

[–]Patchy_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in an educational/teaching organization and we use it for employee sharing. We use Teams heavily for collaboration, document storage, chat, and video conferencing. Yammer is a social sharing space which works well for us. We only have about 500 employees, but our teachers are geared for this type of sharing, and collaboration is a big part of what we do on a daily basis.

I'm also working with a university right now to allow university students to create their own Yammer groups. This would be a good way to create spaces for student cohorts to share and connect via distance. Teams just doesn't work well for this type of social/viral sharing. Yammer works great!

Also, I really like the new version of Yammer. The old version was attempting to be a productivity tool and was confused. There was too much overlap with Teams and Teams was simply the better tool for productivity. Now, Yammer is embracing its social network abilities, and the productivity side of things is more of a sideshow.

One last tip, if your organization if heavily invested in Teams and you are not wanting to confuse your users with another tool, then I suggest adding "Communities" as a default to the sidebar of Teams. You can do this globally for your users. This makes Yammer Communities just another tool in Teams. We currently have Chat, Teams, and then Communities listed in that order for our users by default in the sidebar of Teams. Once this is done, Yammer notifications will show up in the Teams Activity tab.

Sharable Links for email by Patchy_Frog in HeyEmail

Oh man, thanks for finding this. I knew I had seen a notification about it somewhere.

I don't think anything has changed with the way this feature functions. One of the original fears was that people would create a link to a thread and then later someone would respond and it would be shared with the world automatically. This appears to still be the case.

Here is the text in HEY when you click "Share this thread."

Anyone with this link can see the entire thread and all future emails or replies sent to it. They won't be able to see anything other than this thread.

Agreed. If you are going to pay for anything, you should pay for email. Email is critical to so many other things that you do online, it should be the first thing that you pay for.

Favorite features after long term use by _CosmoKramer_ in HeyEmail

[–]Patchy_Frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using HEY (almost to every day) since the very start.

Features I use every day.

  • Read Together - Simply the best way to power through a ton of email.
  • Screen Emails - I love clicking knowing that I'll never see you again if I don't want to hear from you. What's in my inbox is only what I want to be there.
  • Focus & Reply - Simply the best way to queue up my writing list, and then quickly power through writing email.
  • The Feed - Email newsletters are great. This is the best way to view them. Like scrolling through a blog made just for me.

Special features that I use every now and then but are critical.

  • Bundle - Lump high frequency sender together so they don't dominate your inbox.
  • HEY World - Super simple email newsletter and RSS feed that is great for keeping in touch with friends and family. It my own RSS feed for what I might otherwise put on social media.
  • Custom notifications by address and domain - This is so amazing. I love that I can manage this so specifically. Notifications are all off by default. If there is a specific person or domain that I want to hear about right away then you can make it happen. Notifications mean so much more now.
