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.

when was the last time you used it on Android, and was it on a modern device? about half of those don't really apply/happen to me

1: yeah search sucks sometimes, wish they'd fix it.

2: you can block people, you just have to select the lower ... icon

3: it says 'primary mail' for me, but it is kinda annoying sometimes

4: are you talking about how it shortens 'Steam@steampowered.com' to just 'Steam'? because on a phone there isn't much horizontal room and they have a verified system for businesses but I can kinda see what you mean

5: It marked read nearly instantly for me. If it can load the text then it'll mark as read which only takes like half a second for me.

Literally several times/day, every day?

and was it on a modern device?

Pixel 7

No you can't. Much like "all mail" it simply doesn't do what it says. As I said, it just moves them into the spam folder.

are you talking about how it shortens 'Steam@steampowered.com

In your own screenshot it just says "Discord". There is no email address to be found. This makes it stupidly easy to dupe vulnerable people. You can enter any name in that field and any photo in your profile, making it stupidly easy to impersonate, for instance, PayPal or USPS, which I get all the time.
