What are Tasks / the Later Board?

Tasks (called the Later Board on Desktop) helps you keep track of emails you want to come back to later.

To add an email to Tasks, open it, tap the 3-dot menu, and choose Reply Today or Reply Later depending on when you want to handle it.

To see your Tasks, tap the To Do tab in the bottom bar and open the Tasks card. On Desktop, click the Later Board icon in the left sidebar (below Contacts).

Inbox → To Do tab → Tasks → Later Board

What you see then depends on the platform. On a phone, Tasks has two tabs: Snoozed for mail you have deferred, and Done for mail you have finished with. On Desktop and tablet the Later Board lays the same mail out in three columns — Today, Later and Done — so you can see at a glance what still needs a reply.
