Here's an Inbox FAQ:
https://support.google.com/inbox/answer/6098273
I want to mark emails as read, several at a time. I don't see that option in Inbox.
If you mark it as done, it archives it, and if you want to unarchive, you have to click undone one at a time instead of doing it in batch. To do it in batch, you gotta login to gmail. Man I don't even see where to unarchive emails in gmail either. I was only able to "un-done" aka "un-archive" emails that were marked as important by moving them back to the inbox.

I haven't used Inbox now since I flashed the android lollipop image once the releases became available. The new gmail app which also took over the native email app works pretty good. It also has the full material design to it.
I think the Inbox app has potential but the multiselect is one of the shortcomings.

Inbox will probably end up like Google Wave, where it'll be ambitious and have some great innovative features, but will likely not be widely adopted. Chances are though a lot of the features will then be incorporated into other products like has happened with Google+, Google Docs, GMail and Hangouts.

Just came across this and requested my invite, received an auto response but no key yet.

The admin of the account still has to apply and wait for an invitation, as far as I know.

I'm using it on my personal email but would love to have my work email going to it. I had my boss apply as soon as I found out it was open to gapps.
I still use the Gmail app on my android phone for the work/mail email (Google Apps). Maybe I'm used to it but is there any guide on how to make the most out of the Inbox app/web?

I got my invite to my Google Apps account yesterday too. I forgot I'd signed up for it when it was only available to regular Gmail accounts.
There's a short video that you should have received an email about.
One thing I'm not keen on is it takes 2 taps from Inbox to delete an email. Ticking 'done' to remove an email doesn't delete it, it's the same as archiving an email in Gmail, so it's still available in All Mail. I prefer deleting the stuff I don't want to keep. It seems they want you to keep all emails, probably for datamining purposes.

Never understood the idea behind that, it should go into the trash/bin

hehehe... got mine yesterday. But with everything else I've got going on haven't had a chance to mess with it.

The fact that people need a guide for something that should be simple and intuitive is a clear indication for a failed concept. Imho, Inbox is overhyped and its usefulness is questionable.
I tried it for a while, but went back to normal GMail.
