    Snooze emails

    Spark allows you to snooze an email to make it appear as “new” in your inbox at a specific time. This feature is helpful when you can’t answer an important email immediately and want to get a reminder about it later.

    Snoozing works across all your devices. Make sure you're logged in with the same Email for Sync (Spark Account) across all your devices. Learn more about the sync options in Spark.
