And the Gmail bloat is nothing compared to the Yahoo! Mail bloat. It's so slow and bloated that with my phone I'm not even able to get as far as downloading an attachment, and I'm talking about an 1.5-year-old high-end phone where I can do pretty much anything otherwise. In a high-end PC, it also takes a long while to download attachments, and when the connection is flaky, even reading email is difficult. There is a "basic" version (which they also advise against) which is significantly better, but still slow and bloated. Yahoo used to be my go-to account back from around 1997, but after the successive iterations of bloat, it's now in a point where I only use it for unimportant website registrations (i.e. spam fodder).
