So if I've got rid of that (generally I have fewer than half a dozen e-mails in my inbox so tabs were pretty pointless for me) where do they appear? My assumption was in the regular inbox.
- icebraining 13y agoThose are clearly "special" emails, so I don't think it can be safely assumed they would be processed the same way as normal emails - it would have to be tested. Personally, I think Google added the Promotions tab exactly because they knew they would get a major backlash against putting ads in the normal inbox.
- amirmc 13y agoInteresting. That could mean that this is a stop-gap before ads appear in the main inbox for users who don't use tabs. I expect that would take years though as people would need to be conditioned to the current system first. In any case it feels like a slightly underhanded way to 'subscribe' you to 'mail' you didn't ask for. I use Gmail over IMAP so no of the web UI stuff they've done has affected me at all (in aggregate, I feel that's worked in my favour).
- Shooti 13y agoThey'd appear above the inbox just like they always did. The new promotion tab ads are essentially a new presentation style of what was always there.
