> Gmail is objectively an amazing email app on both desktop browser and mobile.
Hum. I would not say "objectively".
I can't stand gmail, it does not come close to what I can do with Thunderbird
and K-9, and I'm not doing anything complex.
A webapp still can't compete with a native client.

Google services are not free, your privacy may be worth an app or two, but mine
sure isn't.
I'm giving a talk next week on how to get rid of Google so I would not say I'm being impartial here.
- mitchty 10y agoIndeed objectively is easily an opinion. And I'd like to see that talk if you could, I'm still in the migration process of migrating off gmail. Its slow though as I have to change a ton of logins to use my own domain that gets stuff sent to fast mail. So nice having regular email on a domain I control.
