Gmail has become a greed monster. It forces advertising into your inbox. Reads your emails for AI (without telling you first) and is only driven to make more money off your personal and potentially private data. I am going to leave Google for personal email.
Gmail insist that I use 2-step login which I did not request and do not want. Compared with using a password, login now takes forever. I use a desktop, my phone is often not with me. I cannot find any way to turn off 2-step login. Gmail has always been complex but it is heading to the pits.
I absolutely hate the new "purchases" folder and here is why. I sort my purchase receipts into specific folders and this is important because I keep my business receipts in business-specific folders. I can move a copy into my preferred folders, but can't delete the one in the purchases folder or it is deleted in the folder I put it in. Gmail is too stupid to put the correct things in there or leave it in the inbox, such as USPS Informed Delivery which is not a purchase AT ALL! Gmail must think people that use Gmail are absolute idiots and as stupid as Gmail developers are that it thinks we can't keep track of our own purchase and receipts. All this will do is force us to have to buy more space to keep all the extra, copies of emails in Purchases, and I refuse to do that. So, after 13 years of using Gmail, I will be switching to another email provider. Disgusting, dumbing down garbage from Gmail. Again. This is the last straw.
This is about Gmail Workspace Email. I was a happy user, spoke of high, till today. I was blocked of my IMAP usage and when contacted support they said about a super low bandwidth they've allocated to a business paid account!!! Good to charge money, but horrible in their service. I've only noticed degradation of the service over the years. Once the labels stopped working, and now IMAP is limited. Whatever the effort I take to organise and take control back of my email seem to systematically get denied. Corporates should steer clear of the services that they can't actually provide services for. Email perhaps one of those that has low margins as its been running for decades or almost a century now on the connected world, so let the small companies take care of them. Forget about having large catch-all attempts if the services levels they are suppose to keep up isn't there in their actual deliveries.
