Another Kind of Offline Gmail - Silence the Noise

[Ken Yarmosh]

Hi Gmail users...one feature absent unless using a desktop client is
to prevent new mail from coming into an inbox.

We all have tons of important notes, files, etc. in an inbox, so it is
hard to completely close it even when work must absolutely be done and
we need no distractions.

I'd like to see a feature where you could toggle allowing new mail
from arriving. I wrote a blog post about it some time ago --

Hope to see the awesome Gmail Labs team tackle this one soon!

Best,
