Now that Inbox is ending, anyone know of other clients with the Pinning and snoozing capability?
Gmail now has snoozing, you could probably use stars and filters to get 95% of the way to pinning.

#12Thank you for this. Now, all we need is to bring back the View Image button in Google image search.

#13I can handle the new design, but on my (albeit underpowered) Chromebook, new Gmail takes ~30 seconds from initial page load to starting a reply to a thread. This is not progress.

I've uploaded a screenshot here: https://imgur.com/VaNpYhq . And I'll be updating the README in a few with a screenshot. I've been plugging at this set of CSS for about a month now.

Making it a standalone chrome extension might be helpful, then your css changes over time will auto-update. Edit: I went ahead and made one, did a quick test by loading it unpacked, seems to work. https://github.com/tyingq/gmail-classic All yours if you want it.
Really appreciate it! I'll definitely use that. Will get that up on the Chrome Web Store this evening.

I have a new MacBook Pro, and while it doesn't take 30 seconds, there's still a ridicules slow load time for Gmail now. If you live in Gmail all day it may be completely fine, but if you just check your emails every now and then during the day, it's pretty frustrating.
You almost get the feeling that something is broken when you load Gmail at this point. The Gmail interface is... fine I suppose, but I'd much prefer a native client. Sadly the best you can hope for these days is Apple Mail, and that's also just "fine".

#16I would rather have some CSS to make the basic HTML Gmail look like the classic Gmail. Adding CSS to the new Gmail doesn't make it any faster, which is my biggest problem with it. The basic HTML version runs really fast, but it could use a bit of CSS to make it look a bit nicer and add a little more whitespace (at least on my 4k monitor it's somewhat cramped).

3 seconds to load interface, almost instant transitions to mail and reply. Windows, Google Chrome.

Oh, man, I want this for Firefox.
Re: Show HN: Gmail Classic – CSS for Reverting Gmail's New Look
#19Was just implementing some email features on our application and we noticed that what we call "Friendly Reply To" doesn't work in desktop gmail. Setting the Reply-to field to "John Doe " won't show "John Doe" in the to section when you click reply. It will show "john.doe@gmail.com". What's odd is that google inbox, and gmail for android and iOS both will show "John Doe".
Bug? Or opinion by Google?

I suspect this has more to do with network speed than platform or browser time spent parsing / executing js.
