Gmail is a tried and true. I've had to use so many different email platforms, and none is as easy to use or frictionless as gmail.

Significantly better than other mail softwares like Yahoo and the like but setting up filters was a bit challenging. The help forums could be a bit more clear.

Easy to use. A must-have for both personal and professional usage of emails. User experience writing has space to improve. For people who don't fully utilize all features, it's a little too much to look at on the interface, especially when you have thousands of emails with mixed priorities.

Since switching from Yahoo Mail to Gmail 12 years ago, I have been extremely happy with my email service provider. Gmail has made my email experience much smoother and more enjoyable. It's simple to use, and I love how easy it is to compose, send, and receive emails. Managing my inbox is a breeze, and the search feature is fantastic – it helps me find old emails quickly. The interface is clean and user-friendly, making it a pleasure to navigate through my messages. Overall, Gmail has been a reliable and fantastic email service, and I'm glad I made the switch all those years ago.

Above all, the fact that it's free to use and allows for the transfer of large files through Google Drive is particularly appealing.

It is a good platform and I've gotten used to it. They are constantly implementing and changing new features so it's a bit bothersome to keep up some times.

It's generous with the amount of storage they give you, maybe too much, lol. I just don't check my emails often enough so they really add up. There are plenty of free add-ons to use. I've been using Gmail for many years and never have had any issues with it.

Gmail is good but it has some huge usability issues. Reply all need confirmation. If you use multiple emails in one Gmail it doesn't act smart and the reply uses the default email, not the email you originally sent which is painful. Organizing it is not easy and friendly. It catches many wrong things as spam.
