Web-based gmail is execrably slow and annoying to read and delete messages. But their POP service works slick, and I’m told IMAP does too.
I only use gmail when I don’t want to use my personal email address.
I hate it. It is so amazingly stupid. You can’t delete without going through hoops.
So I don’t even bother trying anymore. lol They want to use space, let them.
During our three months of relocation to another job, state, home, web provider, we set up a Gmail account. It does suck. Very basic. But it was great to have during this short time.
