Gmail for Android should be one of the best email apps on the platform. However, I tried using it in 2024, and it is actually terrible.

I cannot reproduce any of these, though I haven't tried to block any senders.

I've never seen messages not show up in a search or in all mail. It doesn't search spam or trash by default, but you can override that by adding e.g. "in:trash" if for some reason you needed to include those. It shows me the sender email address just fine when I tap on the header. It also marks a message as read immediately on opening it. I don't see an option to change this on Android, maybe it's a per-account setting you can change from desktop.

Oh well if you've never noticed it must be a figment of my imagination...?

Yes that's the problem.

Once again, yes, that's the problem. Most people are not going to do that.
