I don't understand why there are so many surprised people in this thread. They've been doing this for a pretty long time now. Yahoo has been doing it for even longer.

Unless this is just people being fake surprised as a joke?

Windows is phasing out the built in mail app which is basic but decent…forcing “upgrade” to Outlook which has ads if you’re not a paid user.

thunderbird just got a major upgrade with new aesthetics.

honestly, just use a mail client. on Android I use k9. on desktop, thunderbird.

That's why I use Gmail through the K-9 Mail app (When I have to).
