> Is Gmail even their priority anymore? Didn't they come out with Inbox some time back?

They'd better not kill GMail without adding an Inbox option to not show attached image previews inline in the inbox. I had to stop using Inbox because not only are these annoying, but there's no way for me to control whether my contacts (or even complete strangers for that matter) send me emails with NSFW images attached.

I like Inbox, though there are some other features I'd like to see before I permanently make the switch from GMail, but the above is a deal breaker. <me>@gmail.com has been my primary email for over a decade, but I'd have to switch to something else.



Making calendar invites from outlook work consistently in Inbox would be good too. (I have to constantly import ics files in calendar, which sucks.)


Just buy your own domain and run Gmail on it. Super easy to do, and if Google dicks with me too much I can move my mail somewhere else in minutes without changing my address


That'd require me to change my email address, when I've spent the last 10+ years training everyone to use my @gmail.


The best time to have setup your own domain for email was ten years ago. The second best time is today.

The question is not if you will move off of Gmail, but when, and would it not be better to be prepared and start the process when you're not under duress from a planned sunset?


Easy to set up to forward iak8god@gmail.com to me@iak8god.com, and reply from the latter.
