  • doing some scream lining of your format

    being able to swipe the dividing line between the information boxes on the left and your main reading half on the screen, more consistently would be appreciated so that you have more of your screen for reading would be helpful. I had more than one email account with you. I deleted one by going directly to the website and deleting it, but unfortunately it still keeps filling up with mail most of it garbage mail anyway. It would make more sense if once I deleted from your website or your app that particular email address should stop receiving any email at all, the process of removing an email address from your service is complicated and unnecessarily frustrating. A simple swipe left or right that particular email address to delete it even with a are you sure and click delete a second time should be sufficient not only to remove the email address from my options, but to discontinue the email address from receiving any emails at all if it has been permanently deleted and does not receive any mail for several weeks or so then you could be reassured that someone else isn't going to hack into the account and read the mail you don't want to receivethat would also make a very nice security feature making sure it gets rid of any email addresses by senders also

  • Email account thieves

    BEWARE, THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR CHOICES AND ADD SECURITY THAT YOU SPECIFICALLY DECLINE TO LOCK YOU OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNTS. PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!! Gmail is stealing our emails and information. They add 2 step verification AFTER it is specifically and consciously disabled. They did it to my main email of 20 years and now they have done it to my business account. They have NO HUMANITY and they hide behind doing things for “our security” and no matter how much proof you have that the account is yours, they won’t let you in. The company that was once the best in the game is now straight up thieves. DO NOT TRUST YOUR INFORMATION WITH GMAIL. And gmail, if you have something to say , tell me why Chris”TOPHER” Green can’t get into topherverde@gm***.com when it is my sign in to FB (which I’m currently logged onto) and when it is my verification email account for all the email accounts I’m signed into AND when I am signed into the account on my yahoo account. No rational human can deny that is my account. Hide behind “policy” you thieving monsters. You are stealing my memories of my dad. And you date to say it is for “my security”
    AND, I WON’T BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO TGIS REVIEW IF GMAIL SENDS ONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ME LICKED OUT OF RHIS ACCOUBT TO, EVEN THOUGH IT IS MY APPLE ID. STRAIGHT UP THIEVES.

  • It WAS good

    Ok so I have a Gmail account for school and I receive daily notifications about announcements, new assignments, and grades. I got these emails constantly and it was good for the first half of the school year. However, I recently discovered I haven’t gotten a mail since so long ago! Which is really really odd since I always get daily mails. I checked everyday, still no new mail. Then earlier today I was scrolling through Gmail and saw that I HAD 17 MESSAGES IN SPAM!! What the heck! I read all of those and turns out I’ve been missing a lot of activities!! And guess what, spam is in the other section so you have to click “more” to see spam so that’s why I didn’t see my mail in spam! That feature is so stupid btw stop trying to save stupid space this is what u get for doing that. This ugly one star review. Anyways, I immediately read all of my missed mail and responded and then I reported them all to be not spam YET THE MESSAGES FROM THOSE PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING INTO SPAM. Great, I have to check spam for my daily mail now!!! Btw mail in the spam category will be deleted in 30 days so who knows what else I missed!! THIS IS AWFUL AND EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING 😡😡😡REALLY SERIOUS ISSUE SOMEONE CAN GET FIRED FROM THEIR JOB OR GET AN F ON AN ASSIGNMENT

  • Finally!

    Update - the only thing I have ever not really liked about iOS gmail was that there wasn’t an option to one click select-all messages. Couple weeks ago I experimented with another app that has this feature just because of that. Yesterday, I just tried gmail again and discovered it now had the feature. The select all even works better then the app I was testing. You can select all messages, mark them as Read and then without having to reselect them all delete them or move them or whatever. For me at least GMail is now pretty close to perfect for my needs. I need look no further.

    For mail needs does what I need it to. I've been a gmail user for like forever so I like the integration. But why, after all this time time and complaints by other users do you still not have a "Select all" emails option? This just seems so basic and rudimentary. Other smaller companies have had this feature for years in their email apps. It's just shoddy for a company the size of google to add features they like but ignore the will and needs of their users. And yes, I've already submitted official feedback, for all the good it will do.

  • I’m hating my GMail Account, but feel stuck

    Why doesn’t Google give me an option to delete all of my emails? I have maybe 30,000 by now.

    Ok, now I’m really upset. My main email address will no longer show me my emails on my main work device, my iPad. I have left questions through the website, have tried calling, have emailed them, and nothing. Seems a multi-million (billion?) dollar company could certainly afford a switchboard operator and some techies on staff? I do too many things I don’t want to lose in my emails, and I’m afraid Google is not longer reliable. And...once again, I don’t expect a reply. Absolutely hate the update since “All Inboxes” arrived. Since then, Google Mail has decided that my two alternative accounts are the only ones I need to see. My default (for about 12 years now) email account is only visible to me on my phone, and no longer on my iPad. I have sent emails, chatted, attempted to find a phone number 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😂😂🤣😅, and all to no avail. I do business on the email account, and now it has to be done on my phone. I have emails I’m missing that will ultimately cost me business. I need a mail server that is reliable. Anyone have any suggestions? Because Google is not reliable.

  • More issues with Gmail than Hotmail

    I decided to start using Gmail on my iPhone for personal emails instead of Hotmail, but have encountered problems using it that I’ve never had with Hotmail.
    First, when composing an email, you can’t swipe it down to refer to another email in your inbox. You have to copy what you’ve typed, tap X to cancel the new email, look at the other email to get your information and then start your email over again by pasting onto a new email because it often doesn’t save the draft of the email I started.
    Second, it’s more difficult to copy a photo in the body of your email or add as an attachment. Sometimes it will do neither and ask to add it as a file or on Google Drive.
    Third, and most importantly, it seems to have nowhere near the storage capacity as Hotmail. I’ve used Hotmail for over ten years and never had a notification that I was running out of storage and that I should buy more. I’ve only used Gmail for about five years and I’m getting the notification that I have 83% of my storage used. I also have Google Photos app, so that may have contributed to that, but I have a number of photos and recordings on Hotmail too. The storage issue is the reason I am going back to Hotmail.

  • No sign out

    I have had my Gmail account for many years & have always been pleased with it up to now. I recently upgraded to a new cell phone & had difficulty getting Gmail to unlock my account to give me access with the 2 step verification turned on. I eventually got in through recovery and turned off the 2 step verification process. I discovered that your gmail app had changed & no longer had the “sign out” option under the Gmail user profile. I couldn’t close & log out the my Gmail account app from my new cell phone. I looked under the Help tips for the log out options. It stated the only way to close & log out of your Gmail account is to remove the app from your account device manager or leave it open. Also, it stated depending on which device you're logged into will depend on if you have the sign out option access or not. I have it on my laptop when I log into Gmail. My old cellphone also had the sign out option for Gmail so I could log out of my account, but it’s not an option on my new cellphone. It leaves my Gmail account unlocked & accessible to potential users or hackers through the back door. This is poor security programming in the system’s application. It should be fixed immediately.

  • the best thing about gmail

    Google Gmail is more than just an email service—it’s a powerful tool that offers a plethora of features. Whether you’re using it for personal or business purposes, you’ll find a treasure trove of features. From seamless collaboration tools to efficient spam filtering, Gmail has you covered. It seamlessly integrates with other Google services like Google Drive and Google Calendar, making everything interconnected in one ecosystem—a big bonus for productivity. Smart Compose suggests text as you type, making email composition quicker, and there’s a personalized setting that tailors suggestions to your writing style. Gmail also nudges you with handy reminders, highlighting emails you sent a few days ago to ensure important messages don’t slip through the cracks. While the free version is robust for personal use, businesses may prefer Google Workspace plans starting at $6 per user per month. These plans come with custom business email addresses, cloud storage, and video meeting capabilities. The advanced Business Plus plan offers 5TB of cloud storage and can host video meetings for up to 250 people. In summary, Gmail is undoubtedly one of the best email services on the market, offering value that’s well worth it, especially when considering the broader Google Workspace features. Whether you’re a business professional or a casual user, Gmail streamlines communication and boosts productivity.

  • Getting worse - bugs, missing features

    The Gmail app hasn’t changed in almost a decade, or at least I never see any useful and new features after years. One obvious lacking feature is filters - why can’t I add new filters on the app without needing to switch to desktop? Or “fake” the desktop version on my browser (which appears to be deprecated by the team to force people to use their desktop…)? It’s the most basic email feature, and you can’t create or modify email filters on iPad or iPhone. No idea what’s going on with Google and other big tech companies that have not only stopped new, useful features but have even been removing features to make the user experience complete garbage… for years now since recent times… now, every app update is “bug fixes” in the description, and bug fixes only - for the past several years - and more like adding bugs, since I can’t even update my phone number or payment information on my account, for instance.

    Edit: forgot to mention, the “unsubscribe” button after clicking “report spam” doesn’t work, and you have to infect your device with viruses by clicking the email and then unsubscribing with the other button once you’ve infected your device. Will add other criminal features from Google as I remember them.

  • Y’all finna get a piece of my mind for this unethical accessory y’all decided to add!

    For mobile IOS users: whatever update was the update for the feature “smart compose” (should be calling it dumb compose🙄) is an actual app breaking update. Great job, Google you once again failed everyone👏. Composing an email automatically brings up the keyboard, the smart compose “tip” sits behind the keyboard with an “OK” button behind the keyboard, on the “tip” pop up rendering both of the functions useless. How do you make that big of an error in the program? Their is no way for you to click go “OK” button on the pop up and there is no way to make the keyboard swipe down, therefore making writing an email through the app impossible. Well what does that mean for the people that have the app downloaded? You might have guessed it! It means the app is just wasting space on your phone and giving some corporation, that I rarely ever see making any effort to give back, a whole lot of money. This app is an atrocity, I would either fix it with an update or just completely shutdown the app and take it off the AppStore to save yourselves from the embarrassment y’all have put upon yourself with this app. Truly pathetic and hilariously stupid.😂 But y’all are still richer than me so what do I know, right?
