Hey @Ploy Teansuwan there is no main inbox. Except if you talk about “Inbox” in the top right, which is effectively YOUR inbox and shows you all conversations that have been assigned to YOU (either manually or automatically).
Now the Away mode prevents you from getting new conversations assigned to you. This will not unassign anything from you. It would be useful if you are leaving work, or about to leave work, and you want to finish off your assigned conversations at a particular moment, in order to leave with (most likely) nothing in your Inbox.
You may be referring to the status “Away and reassign replies”. This will not reassign all the conversations assigned to you, but only the ones that are reopened. If a customer replies to you, you would get it back in your Inbox (if you are active). But if you are in Away and reassign replies mode, then the system will unassign you as the individual and put this conversation back in the Team Inbox. It will then be assigned through the balanced assignment or manually picked by a teammate.
The only reason to be reassigning manually conversations, would be if somebody is sick, has assigned conversations to them and those need answering (because they are open). A manager would go and reassign those conversations. But you could prevent that by creating a nice workflow of type “when a teammate is unresponsive” and reassign to the team after X hours of the teammate not answering a customer.
For your second screenshot, you cannot see the Snoozed conversations from this dropdown. You’d have to click on the other dropdown on the left hand side of your selection, to switch from Open to Snoozed. There you will see all the snoozed conversations.
Hope this helps you!
