Mark all old reminders "done" in Inbox by Gmail

I have hundreds of old reminders that I created in the past year with Google Now that are now pinned in my "Inbox" (http://inbox.google.com).

I would like to mark all of them as "done".

I can select them one by one, is there a way to select them all? or at least several at a time?

How do I switch back from Google Inbox?

At some point after switching to Inbox for Google I set it as the default that my account sees at mail.google.com. Now, I want to disable it and return to the old gmail interface, but I can not, for the life of me, find a setting that will allow me to do it.

How do I change my account's mail interface back to the old Gmail one?

If it matters, my account is a Google Apps account, not a Gmail one.

Add .ics attachments in Inbox by Gmail to Google Calendar

I'm using Google Inbox with Google Apps for Work and unfortunately the .ics attachments sent by meetup.com are not added to my calender. But when I switch to Gmail then there is a button to add the Appointment to my calendar.

Is there a way to get the same behavior in Google Inbox?

Creating a new contact using Google Inbox

Is there a method to create a new contact from Google Inbox? There seems to be other ways to do this, such as the People app on an Android device or via Gmail. However, is there something I'm missing in Google Inbox? (It doesn't seem to exist on the web or on the Android application.)

Is there a way to move attachments from Google Inbox to Google Drive?

In the new Google Inbox is there a way to Save to Drive (Google Drive) like there is in the original GMAIL?

In GMAIL, there's this:

In INBOX, I'm not seeing it:

Anyone know if this feature just isn't in Inbox yet or where it was moved to? Searching has just found a lot of people searching for Inbox invites, or instructions for gmail.

How to format as quote using Inbox by Gmail?

I miss how we could quote in Gmail using the "quote" button with formatting tools.

But it has been removed in Inbox by Gmail, is there a new way that I didn't see to quote now?

Google Inbox - How to set filters/automaticaly put email into correct bundle

I am using Google's new Inbox, as a long time (pre-beta) GMail user I'm used to setting up filters to make sure some emails go to the correct places, as google never categories them correctly.

This option seems to no longer exist in inbox, how do I make sure emails about jobs (from specific job related email addresses) go into my 'Jobs' bundle, and not into low priority?

I have 'moved' specific emails of this type into the jobs folder, but once another one comes through it ends up in low priority again. I'd normally setup a filter but I can't find that option.

Send email to Google contact group with Inbox

Is it possible to send an email to a Google Contact Group from Inbox? In Gmail you could type the name of a group to automatically add all group members as recipients, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Is there no way to do this now?

Is there any way to "star" or "favorite" a message in a thread in Google Inbox?

Like it says on the tin. I have a single message in the middle of a long conversation that I want to highlight and have easy to find, rather than having to remember that it's message number 35 out of 80 (or something like that) in the thread.

Is there any way to mark a single message as highlighted in Inbox?

How do I get the compose window in Google Inbox to go full-screen/pop out?

How do I get the compose window in Google Inbox to go full-screen/pop out?

Previously, in Gmail, you had to (shift) click the full-screen expand icon in the upper right corner of the compose window.

However, I don't see that icon anymore in the new Inbox interface.

Holding Shift when clicking the red plus or the keyboard shortcut Shift + c doesn't work

How to find an email in Gmail that was snoozed in Google Inbox?

I recently started trying out the new Inbox app from Google. While it generally works side by side with Gmail, there is one thing I can't find a parallel for in Gmail.

When a mail (or reminder) is snoozed in Inbox, it is removed from the inbox but can be found in Inbox by opening the Snoozed label, thus listing the snoozed items. However, looking at Gmail the snoozed items seem only visible in the All Mail view, where they are mixed in with other mail that's archived or still in the inbox but there doesn't seem to be a Snoozed label that would let me view only the snoozed items.

Is this simply a missing feature still to come, or is there some way I've missed that would let me view just the snoozed items within traditional Gmail?

How to force create a Google Inbox Trips bundle?

Google Inbox has a Trips feature that bundles reservations. You can add an arbitrary email to an existing one of these Trip bundles. Inbox automatically creates new bundles when it detects reservation emails.

Move to Trips leads to a submenu that requires choosing a specific trip

My wife and I are planning a new trip, but we're in the early stages, so we haven't actually reserved anything yet, so there's no bundle for our trip. Inbox won't let me add an email to Trips without picking a bundle. How can we manually create a new Trip bundle?

Change time when showing daily or weekly bundles in Google Inbox

In a Google Inbox bundle, you can specify when the messages should show:

enter image description here

My question is: Is it possible to change the times (in the red squares) anywhere? What if I want to get my "Work"-bundle at 7am, but my "Private"-bundle at 6pm? And my "Inspiring Emails" at Thursday 4am? You get the point.
