Google overhauls Gmail to lure businesses away from Microsoft

I really like the way Gmail is right now. I hope they don't change too much. Definitely don't want it to become annoying like Yahoo or Hotmail.

The major reason I'm more likely to move away from g-mail.

I like the "you can't forward me" concept. It can still be captured and forwarded, but it does cut down on accidental forwards.

But the idea that people can send me messages I can't keep or print is a no-no. It opens up an avenue of abuse we just don't need in any legitimate discourse. It's why I don't have snap-chat or any other ephemeral communications application.

What would I like? Encryption. Hard encryption that goes end-to-end from my computer to the recipient e-mail client. Using keys resident only on my phone, laptop or desktop. And an email client suite that supports android, windows and apple.

I'm tired of evidence that Gmail still reads my email for advertising purposes.

G-suite is the corporate version of G-mail so there are differences in how is dealt with privacy, unlimited storage and administrative control of the organization that uses G-suite!

It was just implemented at my institute so I don't know how this changes will reflect on actual use...

I hate it when you erase an unnecessary mail due to clutter of back and forth mails, and then the whole damn string is gone forever.

Hotmail is a disgusting piece of junk. I sure hope gmail doesn't turn into that!

Gmail suits me fine now.

Hotmail recently blocked me accessing my account after I stupidly followed their advice about improving its security.

Five attempts to fix it online, two more through chat with Outlook people and a phone call to Washington. Half my email-life gone and all I get is recommendations to open another Outlook account. Screw that and screw them!

So now Gmail is scaring me with news of a new interface. I always liked Gmail's option of 'Text-only' - the pre-2013 interface, though I use the current one.

How many of you really do want to have to learn something new?
