DoIT would like to announce that you can now use your UMBC gmail address with Google Inbox by Gmail. Inbox is available on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store and can be accessed on the web by going to inbox.google.com
Google Inbox offers several features not found in regular Gmail. Highlights lets you see things like attachments and pictures without having to open your message.
When you add a reminder, it will help you accomplish it by including relevant info like phone numbers and links. In addition, Inbox bundles your messages in groups like finances and purchases by default, but can be disabled if needed.
You can check out this article on DoIT's own Chief Information Officer Jack Suess and his tips and tricks on getting your inbox to zero.
