Pros/Cons
Pros
- I love that Gmail is easy to use and has great features. It has auto-complete, it is easy to organize folders and search, and the interface is great.
- Gmail is like my childhood best friend, she is reliable, always available, I can talk to her about things I cant tell other people.
- This helps alot in my day to day activities at work. I send similar emails to many of my our customers, so it is super helpful to have saved responses that I can put in my "back pocket" for later use.
Cons
- The one thing that I dislike the most is all the spam emails I receive. Even after deleting them I always seem to have tons of spam in my mailbox.
- The only downside is the access to the Spam folder that needs to be expanded to view, making it difficult for ordinary users to find.
- I dislike that Gmail does not always filter Spam correctly. Sometimes, valid emails end up in my Spam folder.
Pros
- The overall quality is good about this software because of it's easy interface and easy to send and receive mails through it.
- I was delighted to start using this app when a coworker recommended it to me because I'd been trying to find something that was not so spartan like a lot of Windows programs and apps are.
- I love that it is reliable. The core app has never let me down once I installed it.
Cons
- I made the switch to Thunderbird when my outlook experience became too frustrating with lost emails and sent mail stuck in outbox oblivion.
- Other times, when I'm responding to an email, the email will suddenly disappear, but it will be marked as read, so I'll have to search through all of my emails to find the correct one again.
- Recently upgrades have broken plugins more often which is annoying.
