Any of you guys that use gmail tried the new one just released ? I am not to sure about switching yet. I have the message try new gmail , they state you can switch back to the old one if you are not keen on the new one. I have read that some people have been unable to switch back so a little hesitant to try it. Some reckon they lost all their contacts.  :undecided:

Haven't heard anything about it.
Or maybe I have but I tend to gloss over "new" or "updates' or "improved"
If it ain't broke, don't fix it is my motto.

I do use gmail though.

Can you screenshot it and give us a look? I've got GMAIL and seen nothing about a new version.

I trust you use it daily?

Is it legit?

Google also have another email option other than Gmail - Inbox.
Supposed to be better but both get installed on Android devices & mail gets into both apps.
Not sure which is better though.

Yes I use gmail all the time. If you go onto gmail and click on the settings cog on the right  you may have " try new gmail now ", it is on mine so it seems genuine. link below explains it.

I only have gmail  as part of the google/Android thing. I don't actively use the address so I only get crap like tapatalk and pintrest stuff which I've tried to stop. New and improved email usually means better for the provider... more adds etc.. cynical, who me?  :evil:

My first 'prompt' to snooze a google email 2 weeks ago (Android App) asked me the question "Are you sure you want to archive all 27,984 items in this folder?"

Guess they had a few hiccups early on :snigger:

Yep, gives option, Go back to Classic GMAIL. It's ok, no biggy , probably a little clearer to use

I think the confidential mode will be handy for some when they bring it out. Do you think it will self destruct in flames when you set a time for it to disappear.   :snigger:
