As soon as I got the update notification and couldn't say no, I quit Gmail.
The redesign is absolutely horrible, and just like OP, I find it unusably slow (on a beasty Gaming PC).
I got Fastmail, and redirect my Gmail which will now only be used as a spam address. Exactly the same as when I went Hotmail to Gmail and Hotmail because my spam address.
The tech cycle continues.
- MiddleEndian 8y agoMy Google mail is already a personal domain I just manage through Google apps. To be honest the main reason I keep it on Google apps is the six-ish people I talk to exclusively through hangouts (and momentum). If I do get forced to the new gmail web version I'll likely switch to a desktop client or write my own client if I can't find a tolerable one.
- victorkilo1 8y agoOK, here is the real shocker. I had to create an outlook account and get a Office 365 sub for various reasons. I actually found the Outlook + Skype + OneDrive combo more usable than their Google counterparts. If you had told me this five years ago, I would have had you sectioned under the mental health act
- MiddleEndian 8y agoI don't discount that possibility, but I use hangouts to talk to specific people who don't use any other PC-based chat. That's the downside of tying your email address to your chat I suppose. I've taken to using Windows Mail for my gmail usage half the time anyway now, even though I'm still on the old web client.
