Each time I end up on one of the medium-based articles I get dizzy - I get bombarded with full-screen nag screen and after closing it roughly 1/3-1/2 of the screen is hidden behind fixed navbar (often) and another nag-bar to sign-

I read the whole thread and... it seems that people are looking at the solutions at the wrong angle: we have lot's of unwanted marketing/spam calls so we need to find a way to block them. Then they spammers get smart and generate

Why IMAP is only ok? Any particular downsides? Any hints on problems with SMTP? Those are my actual two main protocols to use the mail (I use gmail webmail only because their email is funny in terms of 'archiving' [delete & ex

ditto. I really liked the UI of windows mobile 8 (10 a bit less so) and I find it quite unfortunate that MS decided to 'kill' the platform (there are rumours about new lumia, buuuut) - it was very well optimised, it was easy to gr

I'm not so optimistic. New UI for me looks like an unfocused drawing of a child. What's more - I rarely used the webUI previously (prefer IMAP, which kinda sucks in case of gmail) but now it's slower and looks uglier... ( IMV

Well, gmail IMAP is terribly terrible. I'm eyeballing fastmail (was using it for a bit and mail/calendar/contacts were working like a charm) but for my usecase I would have to pay 15usd/month (2 domains, and 2 persons, o

So… we end up with more and more dumbed down version of everything because "too difficult"? Also - hitting reply button is quite natural and it works like a charm and threads correctly. The problem is - predominance of gmail, whic

But usenet and email use the same technique for threading (message-ids and refs). It works like a charm in Thunderbird and Outlook for example. The problem is that this seems to complex for "regular Joe" so more and more providers

this is more a problem with misuse and not email itself. * actual threading is better as you always see to which mail the reply belong (except for the retarded Gmail conversation view...) * quoting - if you are doing 'char like then tu

That's what you get when you are trying to reinvent the wheel... that is OS controlls, which are just fine and most of the time (in contrast to the web) don't break the layout if you change something by 1px…
