What does snooze mean in Gmail
Snooze means postponing received messages, just like you would snooze an alarm. That is, you will be notified again of the same email at the specified time. You can postpone sending emails to any date and time you want. It could be after today, tomorrow, a week later, a month later, or two months later. The choice is yours. Gmail’s sole responsibility is to remind you at the set time.
What happens when you snooze a message in Gmail
When you snooze an email, it’s temporarily deleted from your inbox and taken to a special folder called Snooze. If you snooze an email with multiple messages, they will all be snoozed and put in the new Snooped folder. So you end up snoozing the whole thread, not a single message. Entire topics will be lost from the inbox.
What happens when the snooze period ends
When the snooze period expires, you’ll be notified of that email, just like any new email. The message will have a Snooped label next to it to distinguish it from the rest of the messages.
Additionally, emails labeled Snooze will appear at the top of your inbox. It will also carry a timestamp. Email will automatically scroll down when new email is available.
What happens to new emails during snooze
Snooze does not mute email. So, if you receive a new email from someone whose email you reported back, you’ll be notified of that email. The email will appear in the inbox just like any other email. Similarly, if you receive a reply in the same thread that you reported, you will be notified of that as well. However, the snooze will be removed from the existing email. You will have to resend the message.
Which email can be snoozed
You can snooze any email. Read or unread, new or old. It can also be from any of the categories, such as Main, Promotions, and Updates.

Should You Snooze Email?
On the one hand, you should send an email as soon as possible. You never know when other tasks start piling up when the snooze ends. That way the email will be ignored again unless you snooze it further. So that’s a terrible idea, for some people.
On the other hand, snoozing an email reduces the chances of it being ignored. At least, if not now, you can act later.
