If you want to be cured of your addiction to e-mail, or desire to use it whatsoever for that matter, then by all means switch over to use Google's new "Inbox" to manage your e-mail. You will NEVER want to go into your e-mail again. Addiction cured.
Okay, I'm being harsh. The "bundling" feature is kind of nice and I can see tweaking it to make it work for me. However, dealing with my e-mail inbox as put together by designers who would most likely come into my house and sort my books by height and color… umm… no thank you Inbox. I find it hideous to look at and move around in the Inbox interface (especially on a small mobile screen not built for billboard acreage of white space).
Do you like to delete any e-mails? Yes? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! Google will be sending a team of Inbox programmers to your house straight away to throw you in a deep dungeon with a limitless amount of cells below the Google complex. What were you even thinking? You should keep all ten zillion CRON notifications that are mailed to you. Also, you never know when your server "BACKUP COMPLETE" messages will be useful from last year, right?!
Yes, yes, Google, you can delete e-mails. Just select them one by one for a night of good fun. Do a search and there is NO WAY to select all the results of your search. I think I found a way to take all the offending messages and bundle them by type and then go to that bundle and select "move to trash" from a drop-down menu (heaven forbid you put the trash where someone could see it top level). Then you can get rid of the bundle. I think that might work. Or, you can just log back into your Gmail account to perform any blasphemous actions like this.
Seriously, I haven't wished for Yahoo mail in a decade. I didn't even wish for Yahoo mail when I HAD YAHOO MAIL! But… maybe they don't mind if I delete my own mail. I'll have to go check that out. Perhaps a Hotmail account would be in order since I'm waxing nostalgic and Google has sided themselves with stupid tech in my mind after wasting a couple days with Inbox.
Seriously, I will stick with my regular Gmail. Inbox maybe will improve (cough die cough cough).
One man's rant. I'd say review, but really I'm just telling you that I don't care for this new Google product from just a few visceral reactions that it caused me.
Go try it out. I've got a few invites left if you haven't anything better to do. Like cleaning your toilets… trimming your cat's toe nails while giving it a bath… or anything much more fun than being teased by what you hoped would be a great new way to handle your e-mail.?
Google Inbox vs. Gmail
