Best Email Ever!
March 22, 2016

I'm really not sure why anyone would rate this lower than 5 stars... Gmail is the best Web-based email you could ever use. If you require your stuff to be top-secret, don't use it though, because the same thing that makes it so awesome (accessibility) is the same thing that doesn't make it very secure.

Not sure why the current rating is so low. It's free, it's integrated across countless apps, it rarely goes down, and did I mention it's free?

Besides potential privacy issues, I don't see how anyone has the right to hate on it.

This is best e mail service in the whole world easy to use with exrta ordinary accurate result.
Gmail has very thorough malware and virus checking: This is also invaluable because it removes 99.9% of the risk that your computer will be infected. Not only are file attachments saved on Google's Gmail servers, but Google constantly updates its anti-malware software to give you the most modern anti-virus protection possible. When a nasty payload does make it to your inbox, Gmail will send up a warning and immediately quarantine the offending payload to keep your personal computer clean. Whether you are an email beginner or a computer expert, this malware protection will serve you well.

The good:
September 4, 2012

The good:
Good spam filtering
Good threaded comments
Chat is good (when it works)

The bad:
Bad navigation that seems to get worse with each so-called 'upgrade'
Changes for no reason other than to... change.
Bad contrast with newest update with no viable alternatives in the Themes section.

Gmail really has some good perks, but I'm not the only one they ticked off with the latest changes which appear to have been made just because. Some browsers can't use it now, complaints all over, and we're told "tough." They changed the icon-only format of the buttons after so many people complained about not having a text option.

I still use it right now but I'm on the active lookout for a different option that can handle all my various email addresses (like the old Eudora could). The Gmail overseers do not listen to their users much anymore. Have a problem? Well, that's your problem.

I purchase Maytag Washer Maxima MCT for the first 4yrs work good before the 5th year been having none stop problem. It's say 10 yr warranty only on what I will say minor not major thing happen you are responsible to get them to come out or you hire someone. Still out of money for something that should work at least seem like 8 to 10 years. Maytag use to be a good product don't know what happen. I purchase in 2021 this should not be. This is bad have read so many reviews.

WAS good but now...
December 12, 2018

Google forced the new Gmail on me. It will not finish loading. It starts loading and then freezes. Other people are having the same problem. Google will not let me use the old Gmail. Google has made using Gmail a negative experience. I am closing my Gmail accounts and switching to another email provider.

I use Gmail service as my work mail account. The threads systematization is good for work mails only I consider. I tried to use this mail service as my personal box, but I failed in that, threads of personal e-mails got me really nerves.

Professional email service provider with great flexibility and usability interface. The only issue is that there's a limited space per user. I really genuinely thought Google would take it a notch higher on this. Can't win them all

It use to be average webmail client.
But lately you can really see that google put some serious talent into it.
The new layout is great and I really like how it automatically sorts emIl into tabs based on its origin.

Life Points Rewards
November 11, 2020

I posted a review of Life Points earlier today. I had redeemed 10 separate Amazon $10 gift cards. They no longer have larger amounts so one must request them individually. I received an e-mail today with the code I needed to add this amount to my Amazon account. I did not realize that there were 9 more codes with a individual page for each. Nothing at the top of the first one nor the subject line led me to initially believe that they were all included in this one message. I like taking the surveys they have and am pretty satisfied with this site. The only real problem I have is when an individual survey as over 5 minutes of questions then tells you that you don't fit the type of person they are looking for and you get a measly 2 points after all that time. This is the reason I cannot rate them 5 starts. Other than that is is a fun site and I will continue to be a member of it.

(Austin TX)
Had some painting and cleaning to do on my house. Daniel said he would be back on
Wednesday to finish the job but he never showed. Now he won't answer my calls. I was fair and straight with him in every way but he was not straight with me. Liar and scammer.

I opened a gmail account when it was still an "invitation only" service.

It's been very reliable for me. The best part is the spam filtering. I also have a yahoo account, which apparently has no spam filter at all. It is now so overloaded with crap that I never even check it.

I can't imagine using any other emailing service. Lately, however, I've been concerned about Google's use of customer data for purposes outside the knowledge of the user. Ads & Data Mining are just but the few of many concerns.

Theft
January 21, 2024

I am not familiar with your company in the slightest. I don't know how you gained access to my account but I do know that how you are using your business against my account is illegal. You are chopping up texts on various apps replacing them with words and sentences to deceive, manipulate and distort truths in order to gain access to my private bank accounts. Someone has been Impersonating me stealing my identity and money. I plan to sue your company for these acts. I want your app or apps removed from my account immediately!

I left Gmail around 2010. Google's point of view on privacy is grotesque. The forcing of their failed social networking site G+ on everyone who signs up is laughable.

I've been using Gmail since it's inception as a closed beta user and loved it. However, as time went on and idiotic views were spatted from the Company, I started looking elsewhere for my email needs.

I still haven't found the perfect email provider, but I've found plenty who has a better track record than Google when it comes to privacy. Not to mention, none of them force their quasi social media sites down your gullet.

Stay away if you put any weight into privacy concerns.

Better than most
November 10, 2018

I've been using gmail for a few years now for a variety of purposes - mostly work or registering to other websites. It doesn't get spammed as much as other providers and the filter is great for those that do come through. Its also categorized into main, social and promotion so you can focus more on the important letters and just mass delete in the categories that are not that interesting.
