I HATE YOU GMAIL!

After an already crappy horrible day, now gmail is making the new pop-up 'compose window' the default, and you can no longer switch back to the old method. Did I mention I hate change? I hate it! No, I will not get used to it. I'm mad. For a free service, gmail sure is trying to 'improve' a lot. Just leave it the way it is and every is happy.

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

Switch it back!!

Think about it. What if your cleaning lady/live-in maid/mom/picker-upper-person took your favorite comfortable old ratty t-shirt and through it out cuz hey, you can get something newer and better. But you LOVED that t-shirt!

Maybe not the greatest comparison, but people like what is familiar and comfortable.

Oh, change is good, you say?

No it's not!!!

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

"Temporarily switch back to the old view."

I. Hate. You. Gmail.

Die.

      Maybe. But not something like email that we use every day. Then, change is bad.

      Except this is such a minor change...the new look however that they are pushing (with the segregation) is a horrible change.

      Segregation? Elaborate.

      They started sorting my emails into tabs of "Primary", "Social" and "Promotions".

      When I removed it on one account, it then messed up my "Importance" yellow markers.

      One big mess...so I just removed tabs and markers on my primary email...

      Big picture, you shouldn't really complain about it.

      It keeps out SPAM and Hackers better than any other mail service out there...and like you pointed out, it's free.

      Ah, but this is American. We can complain and sue for anything we want to.

    Not always CAN you "temporarily switch back to the old view". They are slowly phasing that out.

    Arrggg. I hate you, Gmail. Please, Google, "I hate you Gmail," and find this post. Then fix it.
    Thanks.
    Your un-friend users. (Well, I do thank you for decent service, fast loading, hardly any problems and a free webmail provider. I also thank you for the other services provided by Google Co. That said, I wouldn't mind if you became a little less pro-Arab. I didn't think Google Co. was political, and I would prefer to separate email from politics.)
