    Why did Google kill inbox? Was it somehow not profitable? Couldn’t cram enough ads into it?

      I assume it had too small popularity comparing to Gmail, introduced confusion - two mail services, required resources and extra communication between teams. So, some one decide to optimize.

      If I recall correctly, inbox was kind of test/beta product.
