I designed the original Gmail UX and I have to admit I'd changed every pref in my accounts exactly as Jason did. Good call.

- pg 14y agoYou did a great job. I didn't realize how quietly good the old design was till I looked at it side by side with the new one.
- rachelbythebay 14y agoAha! I must thank you for your original design. I have a question, though: did you intend for people to frequently click "select unstarred" (or similar) and [archive] at the top to cull the list? I used to use it that way to deal with the flood of mail coming in (prod lists, oncall pages, etc.) and it always just felt right. I've always wondered if that was intentional or just something I happened to land on. When they pulled that out in 2010, that was the beginning of the end for me. "0.07% of people use select unstarred", apparently.

- vidarh 14y agoToo bad they ruined it with this redesign. The old one was pleasant and unobtrusive and overall great. The new one is making seriously consider leaving Gmail...
