I really do hate Gmail’s ability to sort
It’s got tabs on top but doesn’t let you make custom ones to sort your emails as they come in
It’s right there
Please let me use them
i was really disappointed by gmail when i was forced to use it at work. i was not looking forward to use it, but i wanted to give it a chance. i don’t understand why its so popular. there are so many annoying gui issues:
- new mails in a “folder” make it bold, but selecting the folder to look into the mails, also make the folder bold
- the real settings interface is hidden behind two clicks, i think i never used the settings visible after the first click…
- the “new mail” interface is a joke. i want to write a mail, not a chat…
- you have to use
to delete mails. - you can not select multiple mails with shift, but you have to use those check boxes in the front of each line.
there’s tons of annoyances in the ui… and if you dare hook up a regular imap client you get a whole different batch of them.
it’s popular because of the viral nature of its beginnings. it was ‘new’ from google so got more than its fair share of media attention, lots of storage (for the time), and you needed an ‘invite’ to get in–people were selling them on ebay, ffs.
Labels are better than folders, though, because messages can fit in multiple categories.
FUCKING ai to replace all the screenwriters, artists, and copywriters just by asking for the thing you want, but I STILL have to put my email away in its little folders MANUALLY like an ASSHOLE because it turns out that LABELS are just for FUN boy, it sure would be AWFUL if labeling an email the same as its FOLDER just PUT THE FUCKING EMAIL AWAY IN THE FOLDER WHEN IT SHOWS UP, but of course. I am the peasant. And I must look at each email, because each email is somebody’s ad, and I guess that is why the email is “free”.
Tom Scott can relate
