Simon Yoda (ID: 000000f90b629d71) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/27/2023 Quite a good tool. It's a helpful productivity tool that allowed me to temporarily pause incoming emails and set a custom auto-reply message. The ability to set specific times for pausing emails, as well as the option to exempt certain senders or domains, makes it a great option for me whos looking to minimize distractions and increase focus during work hours.
