Comment on Show HN: Gmelius – No Ads and Better User Interface for Gmail

Comments

Old Compose. OWWWW YEAH

And now you are effectively fighting against the direction which the software you are using is heading, while the software should actually be supporting you.

If you weren't already. For me Gmail became a slippery slope of "I don't like that either" incidents.

When I decided to leave it had become an easy decision to make, and once I left it honestly made me feel glad.

What do you use now?

Fastmail which is increedibly fast and lightweight compared to Gmail. It feels like going from Hotmail to Gmail all over again, if you're old enough to remember what that was like.

At home I stick to Thunderbird, which leaves a decent local copy with ability to connect to CardDAV and CalDAV which I handle via Baikal.

Hopefully Fastmail will live up to their promises about providing CardDAV and CalDAV themselves, as that would leave me one less thing to worry about.

i thought you could simply turn it off if you wanted to
