Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

This is why I switched.

This is why, if you need to use gmail, you never use the official app. Just use a different client, anf you at least bypass this specific bullshit

Windows is phasing out the built in mail app which is basic but decent…forcing “upgrade” to Outlook which has ads if you’re not a paid user.

I don't understand why there are so many surprised people in this thread. They've been doing this for a pretty long time now. Yahoo has been doing it for even longer.

Unless this is just people being fake surprised as a joke?

Since it's inception in fact. That's what made it free to use.

Vouching for FairEmail. It's by far my favourite mail client. It's material design and very safe cause it strips out all images by default or only tracking images if you choose.
