The filter messages is useless. I have often tried to create a filter to remove and delete unwanted emails from spam senders. These arrive on very specific email addresses so it should be easy to create a filter. Having tried this on a number of occasions against an offending company, I still receive emails, albeit in my spam folder. My request in creating the filter is to delete this without sending to my spam folder. IT DOES NOT WORK, get it right gmail or there is no point in having this useless option!!!

Gmail has become incredibly frustrating when creating a new account. What used to be a simple sign-up process now feels like jumping through endless hoops.

I was asked to scan a QR code and verify with an SMS, which in some cases may result in carrier charges. For a free email service, forcing additional verification steps like this feels excessive and inconvenient, especially for users who just want to create a basic account.

Security is important, but Google seems to have prioritized verification barriers over user experience. Creating a Gmail account today is far more complicated than it used to be, and the process can feel intrusive and unnecessary.

Google should find a better balance between security and accessibility. Not everyone wants to provide extra personal information or go through multiple verification steps just to get an email address.

got used to that email
but too much spam emails since this year!

Google says they have robust spam filtering for their Gmail. That is far from the truth. I get at least 30 crap emails a day on that account that I rarely use and I get none on my msn account. They are the worst for email.

Here’s a good one. I can’t sign into my Gmail account because they want to send a security code to my Yahoo mail account. I can’t sign into my Yahoo mail account because they want to send a security code to my Gmail account.
Pathetic incompetence.

Utter waste of tiem. The cursor just moves without me doing anything. IT cuts me off in mid sentenace

While I was working, Google logged me out of my account. It’s Saturday, and I have urgent things to take care of. Now Google is telling me I have to contact the administrator. It’s a business account, so I won’t be able to do anything until Monday. And starting the week like this, with my email and calendar not working—how am I supposed to keep track of my appointments? I think Google isn’t customer-friendly and is putting up hurdles that cost me valuable time and are just a hassle. We’ll probably have to rethink our partnership with Google.

Worst email system since the beginning, several of my email addresses were hacked, I get tons of spam that passes thru their so-called security system. There's just one solution delete all my Gmail accounts and find a secure email provider. I also hate Google Chrome browser that tracks everything you do. Good bye Google.

The email isn’t too bad but what is absolutely pathetic is the subscriptions box. Emails that are not part of a subscription always end up in there but, emails that are part of a subscription never go in there, what sense is there in that. Absolutely stupid it is a massive waste of space that subscription box. Including that subscription box as part of Gmail is the worst addition ever to Gmail.

the ultimate mail managing software

It only works well for gmail.com.
I had use it for yahoo email for a year, and the email behavior is strange. Just this week, I didn't get emails on time that screwed up my travel. So removed it from gmail app.
I've used other email apps (not from yahoo) for the same yahoo email account, and never had trouble.

What is it with GMail you block or report spam and it's always in your mail box .
Are they selling your information . I can block or report spam every day and it's always back . I'd give them zero stars if I could .

I am really getting tired of this email client. I have been on it since 2007. The way they manage folders/labels is terrible. I really want to see an upgrade there. Getting a bit nervous about Google and they AI push with Gemini. Everywhere I go or do Gemini seems to be everywhere.

I have had my phone stolen yesterday evening and my account has been taken over. I managed to recover it TWICE and it has been taken over again. There is no way to contact google as they keep asking me to verify myself through my email. Also I have no phone so they cant even reply to me

The Google Mail is a terrible, bad and inefficient email. When you want to delete the emails, you have to go into InBox and All Mail, and both of them contained the same emails, but you have to making the delete process twice. Please FIX IT!

Gmail is owned By biggest scummbag google.As we all know google is complete trash.We all need to team up and dump google and their services for ever,gmail is trash,has no function to block scams and other emails for ever.Gmail lets scammers to flood peoples emails...

account security verification seems cumbersome, which is very annoying.

I set up an email account for my business and after two days they disabled my account without warning. I hadn't sent a single email so they can't say I was spamming people. Now I'm locked out of all the social media accounts I'd linked to the email account, as well as a website I am paying for but can't access. There's no one you can contact to get it resolved quickly, I've submitted an appeal and have to wait at least two days before I hear anything. This is terrible and whoever made this decision needs to be fired.

Not just an email app, it's my passport to the entire internet. It just quietly and reliably runs my daily life.

I have used GMAIL for many years & found it adequate but recently they have issued an address similar to mine with only a full stop added & I receive all of their replies from their purchases etc.
