Is there any email client that supports bundles like Inbox did?

The magic isn’t in the client it’s in the delivery pipeline. If nothing is classifying the message into a bundle on the backend, what is the frontend going to do? Of course you can replicate all this yourself but it’s going to be a lot of software to write.

What I miss most is not the auto-bundling, but writing rules to tag emails with a label and the viewing (and archiving) everything that matched as a bundle.

Seems like all the backend that’s needed is built into gmail, what’s needed on the client is knowing which labels to display as a bundle.

No, no - I definitely miss the autobundling. The auto bundling of github emails by repo is possible the only thing that's been keeping me sane, since I get a _lot_ of notification traffic, much of which I should read about, at least... I can't really setup rules for that - I could setup rules for repos I already participate on (ungh, that's a lot), but every random new repo would be another tag and another rule. Eck.

Inbox made that management drop dead simple. I lament it's loss.
