I would really suggest people to read their privacy policy - it is horrible. Good app but makes no sense for the exchange of privacy it demands.
Facebook, Whatsapp, X and Instagram are the top apps - do you think people really care about privacy policy? Not confusing an email client with social media apps but the general mass doesn’t care about privacy policy yet.
True, but we should normalise talking about prioritising privacy.
Here on Lemmy there’s slightly more privacy-sensitive demographic than your average social media. It was true even back on Reddit and it seems even more true here.
Good for the people who use them. I don’t.
I’ll still speak out against any app with such a heinous privacy policy.

Why did Google kill inbox? Was it somehow not profitable? Couldn’t cram enough ads into it?
Same reason why Google Now was killed. It was too useful for users. You open the app, you get the info you want. In fact, you don’t even need to open the app. That’s the problem, they had no place to insert the ads and make money.
That makes a terrifying amount of sense and I never looked at this issue from the angle you presented. God damn it, fucking capitalism.
Cannot recall what was Google Now. I remember Google+.
Why did google kill [product]?
Insert anything from the ever-growing google graveyard.

I tried it then uninstalled when I realized it was just a wrapper.
Any FOSS alternatives to Inbox/Shockwave?
Yeah, that would be great. I haven’t found anything like it sadly.
There’s a KDE itinerary plugin for Thunderbird but that’s about it, all the rest of the features are missing.
I’m still holding out for Mozilla to bring us Thunderbird Mobile
Really looking forward to the K9/Thunderbird lovechild.

A bit too late for that now. Once they killed Inbox I just migrated everything to ProtonMail. Don’t even use my Gmail address anymore.
Proton have great apps!
Installed it. Initially thought that it had potential. Then I found that unless you pay 9$ a month, your search results only display messages from the last 90 days. Absolute deal breaker.
I’ve been using Shortwave since early 2022, and it’s honestly been an amazing alternative to the Gmail client
Loading Gmail is so slow it makes me not want to check my mail anymore lol
What is this “Gmail” of which you speak? /s
Really?? Mine is instant how long is slow
I ended up switching most of my email usage to Hey and that’s been okay enough. I really miss inbox though.
I just don’t use email enough anymore, except for work which is all Outlook.
I am settled with Spark, I need my email app to be multi platform and inbox zero.
Imagine paying monthly for an email app …
If you’re going to pay, you might as well pay for something like ProtonMail and get an actual product.
Interesting. I remember trying Inbox years ago.
This app feels so sluggish in my Samsung S21 Ultra. I do not know what is the issue.
I mainly use Aqua Mail Pro.
That is because the android app is a wrapper around web app, rather than being fully native app.
I really don’t understand companies that do this. They have millions of dollars at their disposal. Build a real app lol
Actually pretty much all companies do this in some form or another. Even Gmail and lots of other Google apps use web instead of native for some parts. They just do it well. When a company does it poorly it really shows.
Looks like this is only compatible with gmail. Anyone know otherwise?
