Remind me if no reply
I frequently send emails where I need to follow up at a later time. An example might be boarding passes for a flight, or a thread that will be relevant when I meet a particular contact on a certain day.
Boomerang for Gmail does this well. I can schedule an email to return to my inbox at a given time. But what really makes this useful is that I can define a condition in some cases. "If plumber does not respond within two weeks, THEN return this email to my inbox" or better yet "If plumber does not respond within two weeks, THEN send this follow-up email that I've drafted."
This feature is critical for me to migrate to a new email platform, as it is highly potent for productive workflow.

I have found reminders super helpful too, especially when dealing with local services like plumber or appliance repair. Sometimes replies get missed, and having a little nudge really helps. I remember checking out this https://appliancerepairtopekapro.com/, they followed up with me before I even had to reach out again. Tools like Boomerang are great for handling situations where that kind of follow up doesn’t happen.

I did not even think about this until I just saw the request...That would be a an AWSOME enhancement.

I have made use of the "snooze" function on Gmail frequently - and this is one, which I am missing at Proton very dearly.

I really miss this feature from Gmail. An alternative is to "snooze" an email but that requires enabling the snooze functionality folders besides the inbox. Which I cannot believe doesn't exist.

I like this idea. An easier one to implement in the meantime would be this one: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/48136637-allow-snooze-for-any-email-conversation-not-just

Consider using the email tool FollowUpThen or the feature in Outlook called "Delay Delivery." Both allow you to set reminders or follow-ups based on recipient responses. For enhanced functionality, tools like Yesware or Mixmax offer conditional follow-up sequences, ensuring you stay organized and productive in managing your emails. I mostly use for my services project https://plumberseohub.com/how-to-build-a-plumbing-website/

This powerful email response tracking feature ensures you never miss following up on important emails when you do not hear back from someone. With the ability to schedule emails and set reminders for follow-ups in case of no response, this tool keeps communication efficient and timely. It is Ideal for managing sales leads or keeping track of conversations; it automatically reminds you to re-engage with contacts who haven't replied by sending the email back to the top of your email based on the schedule you choose. Moreover, you can pre-schedule follow-up messages, which will only be sent if your initial email goes unanswered, ensuring no critical email ever slips through the cracks.
