ha - that blog post is 26MB large and makes my laptop cry
Yes, it’s incredible how just the preview images of “related articles” are over 13 MiB in size. That’s pretty dumb. As is using GIFs instead of actual videos. It’s 2018, damnit.

Let alone that the app is abysmally slow on an iPhone 5s. Even if your inbox (not "done" emails) features 7 emails and 3 new emails come in, the app doesn't even fetch them fully and loads them one-at-a-time upon opening. And the inbox.google.com web interface does the exact same thing! It also gets stuck for several seconds when pressing "done" on a lone email in a group, showing an empty group for a while until it…
You can try Airmail or Edison Mail for iOS. I find it much appealing than Gmail app

Did I get this right: the client is open source while the service that works in the backend and does 80% of the job is closed source?
So the source isn't of much use except for verifying that the encryption is robust? How is that for protonmail?
"Finally, a new confidential mode allows you to remove the option to forward, copy, download or print messages—useful for when you have to send sensitive information via email like a tax return or your social security number. You can also make a message expire after a set period of time to help you stay in control of your information." No, thanks. I like my e-mail archive under my own control.
Lame feature. Take screenshot. File / forward to circumvent.

Agreed. And: https://tutanota.com/ Gmail used to be good alright, but then it started to ask for my phone number all the time. I've switched to Tutanota recently, much better IMO, particularly the new client: https://mail.tutanota.com/
The design with multiple domains is pretty annoying. So I register bob@tutanota.com but forget to register bob@tutanota.de and anybody can squat it and impersonate me from the same service? Not to mention they blocked my IP after registering 3 of the 5 available domains.

I would use tutanota if they could change a simpler domain. When I wake up on the second morning after I've registered an email account, it was impossible for me to remember whether the domain was tunanota, notatuna, nonanuta or tutanote...
I'm so tempted now.. YMMD :)
Actually, the new gmail is: https://protonmail.com/
The most exciting news here is that they're iterating on Gmail again. It was clear that Gmail was stagnating for a while as they were investing in Inbox. It's unfortunate that Inbox didn't take off, but now that it looks like they're putting the effort behind Gmail proper, we'll be seeing continual updates and improvements. In just the past 6 months we've seen native Gmail add-ons (that work across web and mobile) an…
Inbox didn’t take off? That’s news to me! It’s the only way I use gmail, I haven’t used the old interface since inbox was released. It pairs with the mobile app really well.
Anyone able to shed any light on what is Google's strategy regarding the Inbox/Gmail split?
look here: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3269253/enterprise-app... Quote: "With respect to the upcoming Gmail announcement, there are no changes to Inbox by Gmail," a Google spokesperson tells me. "It remains a great product for users with specific workflows and one in which we test innovative features for email." My opinion: Does not sound confident for me... it will be a always beta product?!
