  • when was the last time you used it on Android

    Literally several times/day, every day?

    and was it on a modern device?

    Pixel 7

    you can block people, you just have to select the lower icon

    No you can’t. Much like “all mail” it simply doesn’t do what it says. As I said, it just moves them into the spam folder.

    are you talking about how it shortens 'Steam@steampowered.com

    In your own screenshot it just says “Discord”. There is no email address to be found. This makes it stupidly easy to dupe vulnerable people. You can enter any name in that field and any photo in your profile, making it stupidly easy to impersonate, for instance, PayPal or USPS, which I get all the time.



  • It’s actually better on iOS, like every other Google app, which should embarrass them. But forget the app, GMail in general is fundamentally broken and hasn’t improved in any way that I can ever recall.

    But yeah, just off the top of my head:

    • The search function is completely broken. Like, I type in the exact name of the subject and it’s nowhere to be found. And it doesn’t search the trash or spam folders either.
    • There’s no way to block senders! It just sends them to the spam folder instead! Why would anyone think that’s a good idea with the modern state of spam/scam emails!? I have to create a new filter for every spam sender…
    • “All mail” does not show you all mail. What in the actual fuck?
    • It hides the fucking sender’s email address! Like WTFBBQ!? How is this not a GIANT security vulnerability!?
    • If I click on an email, it won’t show up as read unless I sit there and stare at it for 5 seconds.

    How is any of this acceptable from the most prolific email platform on the planet!?

    My company insists on sending all communications through email, and also insists on using Gmail, which means shit just gets buried and impossible to find all the damn time.
