how long until Google says "hey, actually, it would be cool if users used gmail.com with all the ads instead of some stupid external email clients. Let's disable POP3/IMAP/SMTP for non-business users. Oh, and let's disallow mail redirection too, so they won't even think about running away".

- repolfx 7y agoGmail doesn't have ads in it anymore.

- smitop 7y agoBoth the app and the website have ads, I just checked. They look like normal email messages, but they start with an advertisement indicator. I only see them in the "Promotions" and "Social" tab though.
