Over this week I received some emails about a risk management projects from my peers. Now whatever I search on Google, YouTube or everywhere else, there are some advertisement related to risk management.
I don't have any privacy! They read my emails!
I want to be free to send, and receive anything I like without being monitored.
This is my personal mail box. Imagine the post office monitors your mail box, and sends you many advertisements related to your letters. Do you like such a post office?
If you like to know more about these issues, there is a very interesting section in:

I have called this number '*******4966' and no one ever answers. I have been fighting to get my money back for so long now and they wont respond and when they do they promise that they will follow this up the following day and refund me but then again nothing happens.

I can express how angry this company has made me. They are absolutely disgusting.

I am currently reporting this as a scam.

Is there a better site than gmail.com for emails? I think not.
I have had an account with them for years and have had no problems.
Good spam filters, setting up filters to sort your mail into different labels. Just awesome features.

I'm guessing that an email site will be liked or disliked based on the tastes of many people, however gmail really pleases me. They make updates every now and then and I feel like they are always for the better. They have really cool themes (I'm using the space one) and although I have a limited memory on my account, I never seem to run out of space for my things. Now the emails are organized into the folders: social, primary and promotions. I really, really like gmail and I don't think I will be using another site any time soon.

I can't imagine using any other emailing service. Lately, however, I've been concerned about Google's use of customer data for purposes outside the knowledge of the user. Ads & Data Mining are just but the few of many concerns.

Best Email Ever!
March 22, 2016

I'm really not sure why anyone would rate this lower than 5 stars... Gmail is the best Web-based email you could ever use. If you require your stuff to be top-secret, don't use it though, because the same thing that makes it so awesome (accessibility) is the same thing that doesn't make it very secure.

Not sure why the current rating is so low. It's free, it's integrated across countless apps, it rarely goes down, and did I mention it's free?

Besides potential privacy issues, I don't see how anyone has the right to hate on it.

Worlds best mail
May 31, 2019

This is best e mail service in the whole world easy to use with exrta ordinary accurate result.
Gmail has very thorough malware and virus checking: This is also invaluable because it removes 99.9% of the risk that your computer will be infected. Not only are file attachments saved on Google's Gmail servers, but Google constantly updates its anti-malware software to give you the most modern anti-virus protection possible. When a nasty payload does make it to your inbox, Gmail will send up a warning and immediately quarantine the offending payload to keep your personal computer clean. Whether you are an email beginner or a computer expert, this malware protection will serve you well.

The good:
September 4, 2012

The good:
Good spam filtering
Good threaded comments
Chat is good (when it works)

The bad:
Bad navigation that seems to get worse with each so-called 'upgrade'
Changes for no reason other than to... change.
Bad contrast with newest update with no viable alternatives in the Themes section.

Gmail really has some good perks, but I'm not the only one they ticked off with the latest changes which appear to have been made just because. Some browsers can't use it now, complaints all over, and we're told "tough." They changed the icon-only format of the buttons after so many people complained about not having a text option.

I still use it right now but I'm on the active lookout for a different option that can handle all my various email addresses (like the old Eudora could). The Gmail overseers do not listen to their users much anymore. Have a problem? Well, that's your problem.

It use to be average webmail client.
But lately you can really see that google put some serious talent into it.
The new layout is great and I really like how it automatically sorts emIl into tabs based on its origin.

(Austin TX)
Had some painting and cleaning to do on my house. Daniel said he would be back on
Wednesday to finish the job but he never showed. Now he won't answer my calls. I was fair and straight with him in every way but he was not straight with me. Liar and scammer.

I opened a gmail account when it was still an "invitation only" service.

It's been very reliable for me. The best part is the spam filtering. I also have a yahoo account, which apparently has no spam filter at all. It is now so overloaded with crap that I never even check it.

Theft
January 21, 2024

I am not familiar with your company in the slightest. I don't know how you gained access to my account but I do know that how you are using your business against my account is illegal. You are chopping up texts on various apps replacing them with words and sentences to deceive, manipulate and distort truths in order to gain access to my private bank accounts. Someone has been Impersonating me stealing my identity and money. I plan to sue your company for these acts. I want your app or apps removed from my account immediately!

I left Gmail around 2010. Google's point of view on privacy is grotesque. The forcing of their failed social networking site G+ on everyone who signs up is laughable.

I've been using Gmail since it's inception as a closed beta user and loved it. However, as time went on and idiotic views were spatted from the Company, I started looking elsewhere for my email needs.

I still haven't found the perfect email provider, but I've found plenty who has a better track record than Google when it comes to privacy. Not to mention, none of them force their quasi social media sites down your gullet.

Stay away if you put any weight into privacy concerns.

Better than most
November 10, 2018

I've been using gmail for a few years now for a variety of purposes - mostly work or registering to other websites. It doesn't get spammed as much as other providers and the filter is great for those that do come through. Its also categorized into main, social and promotion so you can focus more on the important letters and just mass delete in the categories that are not that interesting.

Horrible
July 22, 2023

The worse motel I have stayed at in Pigeon Forge. Positive reviews are a sham, pictures are staged. Room was dirty, floor had not been mopped in who knows when, very outdated and in need of a complete over haul. Towels were rough and dingy. No extra toilet paper and no phone in the room! I will never stay there again and I will make sure my friends know of these horrid conditions! They state an overall rating of 8 out if 10, what a joke, I wouldn't give them 8 tenths of a point. Do not stay at this Travelodge!

"The Dating.com community is one of the best community so far. I used to spend a lot of my time on different social media sites, and I thought that they are a group of good peoples. But every time they disappointed me due to their fake. Most of the social media sites are full of fake peoples who are just passing their time by making short time friends. There is not a single social media site that offers a real and well-qualified community but Dating.com is the one that has never disappointed me.
It has got the best community that not only listens to my views but they share their thoughts as well. I am incredibly blessed to be a part of this community. It has got good people who are highly qualified. The admin support is also available 24/7.
