The real question is what newer products have managed to stick around at Google?
- imbnwa 5y agoIt all went downhill once they shuttered Google Reader
- bitcuration 5y agoGmail has. Knock on the wood.
- vaseem 5y agoActually it hasn't. Ever get annoyed whether your email is in primary, updates, promotions or social. Previously I had rules, almost all marketing went to labels or trash. Is it just me or have the rules become inconsistent?
- mrweasel 5y agoI think I might be in the minority.I never use Gmail (GSuite, at work) via the browser, but I still use Gmail, it's just via IMAP or "native" Gmail integration. I was never blown away by the user interface, but many rely on the gmail interface to manage their emails effectively.
- JohnFen 5y agoI don't use GMail for my personal use, but my work used GMail, and that's what I did with that. Google's actual interface is not one that I enjoy. Later, we switched to O365 and so use Microsoft for email. I still use IMAP for that, because the Outlook interface is not one that I enjoy.
- dhosek 5y agoMe too. I have one account that I use for my fiction/poetry submissions that I'll log into via the web interface when I get a response because Apple Mail doesn't have a way to be able to apply multiple tags to a message and I tag each response with the journal, the submission and whether it's a rejection or acceptance (plus a star if there's specific feedback). Other than that, all my mail access is through Apple Mail either on my Mac or on my phone.
