It sounds like you are talking about gmail web at md2 era. The giant sidebar item that can only literally show 6 item on a 1080 screen. The giant mail row that display only 10 or maybe 15 mail on whole screen. And new mail button on right bottom that requires you move your mouse across the whole screen to write a new mail. It really makes me wonder 'wtf? Who designed that, did he actually try to use it by himself?'. At least it seems they steps back a bit now. Also they moved the new mail button back to top left.
