This app/gmail is waaaaaay behind the curve
If you want a basic, simple app that hasn’t really improved much in the last 10-15+ years, then this is for you. The YahooMail app just included these features when long pressing on an email: 1. Delete all messages from (sender) 2. View all messages from (sender) 3. Mark as spam 4. Select message. The first option alone is absolute gold. I was able to clean my inbox from Loads of junk and unimportant emails that had accumulated over the years. Adding this to gmail would most likely save the company loads of storage space as people have a way to clear out accumulated junk from their inboxes. Additionally, after deleting all messages from a particular sender, it’ll ask you if you want to unsubscribe from further emails. In gmail, I’d need to manually delete each email from a sender one by one? This is incredibly antiquated.

Why can’t I swipe to delete??
App is good generally, but when I swipe right or left it only gives me an option to Archive. I’ve given 2 stars because this is irresponsible of Google, being such a big company, encouraging people to keep emails when data storage is such a big environmental issue. Also, not being able to easily delete has an impact on people’s wellbeing because they can get overwhelmed with emails. If someone wants to archive something important this is rare and and they can spend more time, but in todays age of too many emails being able to delete by swiping is almost essential! The other apps on phones can do it, why not this one? Seriously who archives emails??? Just let me swipe to delete (and flag/unflag) please! Have a look at the iOS Mail app for inspiration, that works well.
Another worrying thing about this app is just how many reviews are completely off topic… like how did that happen?

With robust security??? Ummmm… not, just not true.
I’m sure there’s a million or more people that love Gmail and trust it. I unfortunately am not one of them. Because of a hack. Google kept telling me that I needed to manage my account. That is all they said. I would check it and nothing seemed to be wrong. Someone (other than google) finally told me to go further back into settings, so I did and what I found was so shocking that even google would not help me get rid of it. What I found was 300 email addresses for hacking people. From all over the world and from A to Z. They were put into the “FREQUENTLY CONTACTED EMAILS” section of the main google settings and were the bad yandex not the good. It totally hacked everything and fried my computer and has followed me even though I had a professional remove it but it still has its grip on me and it’s now been over 7 years. Everything I had and have now is hacked and it also put me on the dark web six times. Be careful to all you that use gmail. It’s a nightmare still! No one helped, not Apple, not the FBI, and of course not google. I have over 30 screen shots of these email addresses that are not mine. I was told that they are four taking down large corporations, like banks!! OMG!! So beware and be on your toes! STAY SAFE!!
