I can still chat with Google users via Adium. I suppose if they're not using XMPP they're doing something else, but if Adium supports it, it's probably in libpurple, which means Pidgin and other OSS clients can do it too.
Then why change it? Why the treadmill? Why send the rest of the ecosystem scurrying about, chasing their tails? And if the ecosystem gets the rug abruptly pulled out from under it one time, then how many more times will their efforts get trashed? Probably as many times as is necessary to shake them loose. No announcements, no roadmap, no communication channel, just a sudden upgrade and everything starts timing out, o…

ProtonMail may not be the best choice if you're a stickler for standards. Their service unapologetically works only within ProtonMail. Send an e-mail to someone with a different provider and they get a link to a https view of the email.
Thanks, though I set it up yesterday mostly for receiving, I don't plan to send anything from it Is there another email provider that isn't hotmail, gmail or yahoo mail with good prospects at the moment?
FastMail on the other hand is a closer equivalent to Google, supporting caldav and carddav for Calendars and Contacts; although as a downside you'll have to configure 3 accounts on iOS to get Mail/Contacts/Calendars via IMAP/CardDav/CalDav if I'm not mistaken.
FWIW, this has been around for a long while now. I like being able to do things like confirm a sign up to a service, close support tickets, get shipping ETAs etc. with just one click on the global Inbox view rather than having to open an email up. Looking to incorporate these into our own SaaS apps too, as soon as I get some spare time. I think this is a step in the right direction to reduce Inbox fatigue. Here's hop…

I'm disappointed this restriction is still in place (though I understand _why_). My SaaS sends emails on behalf of our customers (using their From address). Individually they don't send 100 email per day to Gmail, but in aggregate our platform does.
How do you send it on their behalf, the on-behalf-of header or do you relay through their SMTP servers with their credentials?
It will be fun to see private emails poping up in the search when someone is sitting there with you while you do your search who should not have access to those emails.
That said, I tend to only use gmail for travel related email so reservations get into my calendar. For everything else I try to use my own domain on FastMail, or sometimes ProtonMail.
To bad it won't work for sending invites to friends for group hikes, with a map, etc. That said, I tend to only use gmail for travel related email so reservations get into my calendar. For everything else I try to use my own domain on FastMail, or sometimes ProtonMail.
Not so practical for a one off event, but if you were doing this all the time, you could build a service that offered this sort of facility to the masses.
Cool.

NB, I can't see anything that specifically provides exactly this type of button in the API, and arbitrary buttons are sadly unlikely to be made available. [EDIT: Actually you can - see comment]
