What exactly does Google have left that people like? Gmail?

Shhhh! Dammit. Now they are definitely going to realize they haven't ruined it yet.

The way Gmail orders conversations/email chains makes it SO hard to figure who's reply to what and what the latest email is. Each email in the chain contains the entire chain before it and you end up reading everything twice just to work out what the hell is going on.

I keep forgetting that Gmail is a website and not just an IMAP server.

I just sent a reply to an email I forwarded instead of the original email and it's entirely the fault of how Gmail orders emails on Android. Unironically.

No further questions!

Gmail is already shit for anyone who wants to configure their own mail server.
