Email snooze is a feature that allows you to hide an incoming message for a while, so it reappears in your mailbox as a new email after a set time. It’s useful when you don't want to read a message right away but don't want to lose it in your inbox.

Unfortunately, Dreamhost.com doesn’t offer a snooze feature in its webmail interfaces.

Good news though! Dreamhost.com supports IMAP, so you can access the snooze email feature through a desktop email client like Mailbird.
