It’s a very poorly designed app . Anyway don’t want to write much about this because I have been using this since 1997 and at least have to thank the availability of this service **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and for being associated with Rediffmail since 1997, we truly value that long-standing support. Your feedback has been noted and will be conveyed to the concerned team. Kindly share relevant screenshots and details at ngsupport@rediff.co.in. Thank you, Team Rediff. ### 2/5 — UX downgraded *2026-04-17* Ux has never been a strong point for rediff, but I stand with it because of *clean mailbox and *negligible spam. However this new ui *forcing UPI registration* seems to be testing the patience. You are late to party so please don’t force ppl to join by blocking mail access with UPI banner. If you want ppl to register on your UPI give them compelling features. **Developer response:** Hi, we truly appreciate your long-standing support and your recognition of the clean mailbox experience, it means a lot to us. We understand your concern regarding access to mail. Rediffmail works independently; the UPI step is optional and can be skipped. Kindly share screenshots at ngsupport@rediff.co.in for further assistance. Thank you, Team Rediff. ### 3/5 — Once a Trusted Email for Indians — Now Held Back by Poor Performance *2025-12-01* I have been a loyal user of this email service for almost two decades. For many Indians, including me, this was once one of the most dependable and preferred email platforms. Despite having Gmail and several other accounts, I continued using this as my primary official email because of long-standing trust and familiarity. Unfortunately, the service has not evolved with time. For many years, the app has struggled with delays, non-responsive behaviour, and overall inconsistency. Instead of focusing on improving stability, speed, and reliability—the core functions of an email service—the app keeps adding unrelated features like stock market updates and shopping sections, which only make the interface cluttered and difficult to use. It is disappointing to see how far the quality has fallen, especially after previously iconic services like Rediff Bol. I have genuinely tried to continue using this platform for the last few years, hoping for improvements, but the experience has only worsened. I was even willing to pay for a premium storage plan, but it is offered only to business users, not individual loyal customers. At this point, I have begun moving all my important communication to another email provider. I truly hope the team realises that to compete with the real players, they need to prioritise reliability, modernisation, and customer experience over unnecessary features. A once-great service that urgently needs a complete revamp. **Developer response:** Hi Jiju V, thank you for being with us for nearly two decades, and we’re truly sorry that the recent experience hasn’t met your expectations. We understand your concerns, and we appreciate your honest feedback on how the service has evolved. Your points have been noted for improvement, and we value the trust you’ve placed in us over the years. If you are currently facing any technical issues, please share your device details, OS version, and app version at ngsupport@rediff.co.in, so we can assist you further.

The photos in the attachment are not visible. So we need to download the photo first and then view them. A thumbnail will be helpful. So option to undo the text. **Developer response:** Hi Abhishek, thank you for sharing your thoughts about the attachment view and text undo options. We appreciate your suggestions, and our team will definitely review them for future improvements. Your feedback helps us enhance the app experience.

Given that more than 2 decades this email is used, it’s pathetic to note that reply, reply all and forward tabs are not available for free users. Why the hell this exist if this basic features are required in IOS version. **Developer response:** Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed observations. We have noted your concerns regarding the availability of reply, reply all, and forward options in the iOS app experience. Kindly share relevant details and screenshots at ngsupport@rediff.co.in so our team can review the matter further and assist you.
