What does Snooze Mean in Gmail?

Snooze is an important inbox function available in all Gmail accounts online. It works exactly like the snooze button in alarms where activity is postponed for later. The snooze option in Gmail enables the user to select any number of emails to temporarily disappear from the inbox and appear later on a pre-decided time and date so that the user can take an ideal action regarding them. That is, some people experience an overflow of emails in their inbox and usually, they find it difficult to reply or take necessary action on every email that they receive immediately. So, they can pick fewer emergency emails out of the bunch and snooze them for a convenient time later in the same day or even another day. This will let the snoozed email pop back into the inbox on the assigned date and time convenient for the user to take necessary action on it.
