Ever wished you could un-receive an email when it pops into your inbox at an annoying time?

Whether it's at work or on your personal account, emails can easily get overwhelming.

A recent Reddit thread has uncovered one massively helpful trick that could be huge for inbox management - and it's clearly news to loads of people.

The thread is on the AskReddit forum and poses a simple query: "What's an everyday item that has a hidden feature most people don't know about?"

The post has attracted over 7,000 comments, so it's clearly a really popular one, and one of the most upvoted replies is all about your emails.

It explains: "If you get an email in Outlook and you don’t want to deal with it right then but also don’t want to forget it altogether, right click or select the 3 dots on the email and select ‘Snooze’.

"Pick when you want the message to reappear (later that day, the next morning, etc) and it will be delivered at the top of your inbox at that time!"

This has proven a massive revelation for a lot of Outlook users, who didn't realise the tool existed and can now use it to manage how emails hit their inbox.

One enthusiastic reply to that comment said: "I will try this with some of my hundreds of emails tomorrow!"

Another offered up a really important further bit of information, too: "Very helpful. Gmail has this as well."

The most popular reply to the comment, though, with over 3.5 thousand upvotes of its own, was a classic funny one. It read: "New Procrastination Ability Unlocked!!!"

After all, if you use this option too frequently, you'll ultimately just be putting your work off and having to do it later, which is pretty much the dictionary definition of procrastination.

But if you use it carefully, it could be a great way to break up your day and make sure that potentially distracting new emails or information doesn't disrupt anything you're working on that takes priority.

Of course, this is just one popular reply to the post - there are thousands more if you fancy learning about some features you didn't know about, so be sure to check the full thread for some interesting tidbits.
