    Does anyone else think the new G-mail interface looks like a rubbish bin in a skip on a landfill in Athlone?

    Is this smartphone only? Or PC? I haven't seen the new interface, though I do have the new twitter interface on my phone...and it's odd they moved the menus.

    no, they have far more colour and definition than the gmail mess.

    It's an absolute fukin disgrace of an interface. Looks like they allowed baby infants with crayons design it.
    Google have become nothing more than a data gathering & advertising company. They don't give two fuks about the user experience

    Yeah its horrible alright

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It is f!cking dreadful and I can see it being changed again in a year or two's time.

    All sites employ developers who have to justify their existence.

    I don't think it's that bad really, it takes getting used to but now my inbox looks a lot cleaner and the old interface was getting a bit dated.

    Have done for a few years and admittedly, their interface could do with a little update :D

    Microsoft mail is much better but it still needs some tweaking. It seems to be a bit on the slow side in comparison to gmail but if this is ironed out I'll be using it permanently.

    Do people still use the web interface for email? I thought those days died out with the millennium :eek:

    Yep, via tablet or laptop. I can use phones for texting and face book messenger, but for emails I'm more cautious-I can't afford a typo.

    I know there's a redesign coming for the app but I didn't think it was coming yet. The website changed a few months ago.

    I like it, and I kind of like the whitespace, it goes nicely with the design UI of Pie, I like how it's pretty much same functionality whether I'm on a desktop or on my Pixel 2...

    Then again, it always had got that, so it's nowt new just a lick of paint I suppose... :)

    Got the option to change a few weeks ago and clicked no for no particular reason.

    Only realising now that I've been using a new GMail interface at work.

    I don't see the issue. It's fine.

    I hate Gmail. Outlook is much easier and clean looking

    Your provider can still be gmail (my personal email is) or any email provider (or you can even be your own email provider!, but I haven't used a web interface in almost 2 decades.

    Outlook or Thunderbird is far, far, far superior.

    So doesn't it make sense to use a proper email client to type your emails rather than a web interface?

    Yes, true. I suppose I'm a creature of habit, I guess?
