Taskforce, a beta service that integrates with Gmail via a Chrome extension or Firefox plug-in, refocuses the user's e-mail experience around three central components: action, information and broadcast. The new snooze-like functionality provides a potential cure to the bloated inbox problem and archive dilemma that most Gmail users face on a daily basis.

Taskforce users can now convert an e-mail message into a task and click the reminder button -- a.k.a. snooze button -- to set up an alert for a future date. The process allows users to treat e-mails as future tasks and clear out their inbox in the meantime.

Taskforce is currently a private beta service, but the blog post on the feature update suggests following the team on Twitter and requesting an invite for faster approval.
