Gmail Still Rubbish

The most annoying thing with Gmail is how you can't easily get rid of items under the promotions and social tabs. Recently I went in, marked unread items as read, deleted them, then went to the bin and emptied it. All gone then, or so I thought. Two days later I log back in, there they are again, everything back, marked as unread. I've mentioned this to others and they say the same thing happens to them. Gmail is the only free web based email that pulls this trick; they're keeping users on the site longer and forcing them to read emails you just want gone, for whatever reason.

Basically Gmail is Rubbish

I mentioned before that gmail became slow when they upgraded last time. Things have improved but only slightly. Another problem I've encountered is that emails that have been read, or marked as read, will still be showing as unread when I next log in. That's annoying. And this problem persists too when I delete the email, it will still be there in my primary inbox, or social or promotions tab when I return. I've even gone into the bin and removed items from there as well, only to have them return on next log in.

I searched around and found various ideas on how to fix this glitch. None of them worked and I think they (gmail) don't want any of it to work, they want you in the site for as long as possible, that's what it's all about. I've mentioned this glitch to people and they've said they have the same issue.

It's bloody dishonest of Google to allow such a thing; Yahoo and Outlook/Hotmail do not stoop this low. As a consequence I rarely use gmail, it is only used for some things.

Gmail Continues to be Rubbish

I'm still looking for a reliable email account. Gmail is still slow, sometimes emails won't load at all. I've tried using different browsers, all with the same or similar result. It's hard to believe Google put out such a flawed upgrade, I've tried different browsers too, all with the same or similar result.

Rubbish Gmail

The revamped Gmail is worse than I thought. Even while using the Google browser Chrome, it is chronically slow, and at times you can't even load an email, compose, or any of that. It is sometimes necessary to load the entire page again. I figure this is to boost the time a user spends in front of advertisements. Gmail is now complete rubbish.

New Gmail is Rubbish

Google have shot themselves in the foot with the new Gmail. I've tried several browsers and they're all the same, Gmail now takes a long time to log in, and once in, each individual email takes even longer to load. It is so bad sometimes I have to reload the whole page and try again.

So, for me at least, this makes gmail dead. I'm looking for a fast and efficient email provider. Yahoo I don't trust since they went cruising through everyone's email contacts (let's face it, it was them doing it, not some 'hackers')
