Once you've installed the extension and followed the various prompts to allow Boomerang to operate, you'll find a new row at the bottom of your Gmail message-composing window. Only you can decide if you feel comfortable allowing any third-party app access to your account, but this particular service seems pretty darn trustworthy from the outside.

The service does require full access to your Gmail account - invariably, given the nature of what it does - but its privacy policy and FAQ page make it clear as day that the company stores only the headers of messages for emails you process with it and never shares or sells any sort of personal data. Boomerang has been around since 2010, has 1.7 million users on Chrome (and another 200,000-plus in the G Suite Marketplace), and has average ratings between four and five stars, depending on where you look.

The first thing you need to do is install the Boomerang Chrome extension (or Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Opera extension, if you prefer).
So grab the nearest nightie and put on your favorite sleeping cap (you do wear a sleeping cap, right?) - and let's spruce up your Gmail snoozing arrangement. All you need is the aid of a third-party service and a couple quick tweaks to your Gmail settings. But guess what? Rather than sit back and wait for Google to cook up more powerful options, you can take matters into your own hands and implement your own advanced snoozing setup this very second. Snoozing in Gmail, unfortunately, is still far too basic for any of that. And ideally, I'd love to be able to make a snooze hold true only if I haven't heard back from the other person - "remind me about this in days only if I don't get a response," in other words. In addition to snoozing away incoming emails I'm not quite ready to answer, y'see, I'd like to be able to snooze message threads as I'm replying to 'em - without having to go back and remember to do it after I hit the "Send" button.
Much as I love the fact that Google added a native snoozing function into Gmail, though, I frequently find myself wishing that email-dozing option had a little more oomph to it.
(It's also one of my favorite things to do at night - and occasionally also in the afternoon. It's one of my favorite methods of organizing my inbox. Being able to snooze messages in Gmail is fantastic.
