Over the past year or two Gmail has gotten really slow. I'm not sure what happened, because there are no new features I can think of that would cause this.
It's gotten so bad that I'm considering moving to another provider or using a good old email app again.
- criddell 10y agoI've noticed that too! Do you use Inbox? I do and I was thinking about going back to the classic interface to see if it's faster.
- dheera 10y agoI tried Inbox. I thought for a while that Gmail stars == Inbox pins. When I found out that I was missing out on emails I had previously starred, I quit and went back to Gmail. Also, Inbox did not show me full e-mails on my Android Wear smartwatch while Gmail did. Also, I couldn't figure out how to set up the filters I needed in Inbox.

- mercer 10y agoOh, I tried Inbox but Gmail was nice and fast compared to that pos.
- merrvk 10y agoI would recommend Fastmail. Moved over for similar reasons and never looked back
- fetbaffe 10y agoOutlook.com as well. When it launched, it was blazingly fast. Now it comes with a loading screen and really laggy. Bloated single page apps is the curse of the modern web.
- ashark 10y agoUse the basic HTML version. It's worth the loss of a couple features from regular gmail or inbox for a much snappier UI (even with it fetching full new pages from the server all the time!)
- mercer 10y agoI like my vim-style keyboard shortcuts thought :-/.
