It does prevent new messages from showing up in the feed, but it doesn't prevent the red notification circle and a new email counter from showing up. Which should be the whole point of this app. To be improved.

Its very good. Drawback it also blocks when you want to search for an email. Have to unpause it to search.

This would be really great if only it worked on Android too.
