What Does Snooze Mean in Gmail?

Snooze means to postpone a received email, just like you snooze your alarm. You will be notified about the same email again at the specified time.

You can postpone the email to any date and time you like—be it later today, tomorrow, a week later, a month later, or two months later. The choice is yours. Gmail’s only responsibility is to remind you at the set time or, more practically, to bring the email back to your inbox.
