Thanks for reporting, Colin! I changed some things around and apparently broke the cleanup script. Can you try refreshing http://dreev.es/snooze again and see if that fixes it?

It’s working really well; however, now I’ve started getting near-daily (daily?) notices that time-based triggers are failing for unknown macros cleanup1 and cleanup2. Expected behavior? (Is there some way to get to the source, having installed it?)

Thanks again!

Awesome, thanks, Colin! I didn’t intervene but one thing that’s bitten me before, in case this is the explanation for the delay in your case: If you refresh the http://dreev.es/snooze page after midnight but before the nightly snooze shift has run then it will set up the trigger to happen at midnight the following night.

It worked tonight; I don’t know if you had to intervene, but I’m very glad that it worked! I like the simple semantics and quick use from any gmail client. Thanks for a neat project!

I installed Gmail Snooze (and clicking on the button above now takes me to an info page instead of an auth request). I have a single message tagged with label “1″ and it hasn’t moved in 2 days. Am I missing something?

I’m not sure if I can set the labels invisible (and not sure I’d want to) and I also think that they should be deleted when they’re empty. Otherwise if you snooze something for 1000 days then eventually you’ll have a lot of empty labels hanging around. But the labels 1-9 are never deleted so if you limit your snoozing to 9 days (not a bad policy) then you could make those labels invisible and this script wouldn’t mess with them.

Great tool, but could it be made to make the labels invisible (like not showing in my default view)? Or at least so that it doesn’t delete the labels again (I could set them invisible that way)?

[...] [1] My code is here — snooze.js — and I intend to blog about it in more detail later. UPDATE: Blogged on Messy Matters. [...]

Yeah, I have it listed under Related Reading, other tools. And I guess it works by a similar label-based principle. But I don’t like it messing with the Gmail interface and the labels it adds are unwieldy. It just generally feels too heavy weight. I’m really happy with the simplicity of my Gmail Snooze app.

Though if Boomerang has added keyboard shortcuts since I last tried it, I’ll give it another go. I think that’s the best part of Gmail Snooze. That you can snooze things with just a couple keystrokes (and they’re just standard Gmail keystrokes!).

You’re aware of boomerang, I hope?
