Now maybe I can finally select and delete all 200,000+ unread notifications

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, because it only selects the shown ones, so you can only delete like 45 at a time. At least that's how it works on the website, and it's ridiculous.

Then the number shall grow.

Mark as Read in the notification panel. How the hell is that still not an option? I've been asking for this over a decade since quick reply options became a thing (jellybean?). Options are still only Archive or Delete.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't even get delete. Just archive running pixel 8

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Inside Settings in Gmail you should be able to swap it, but you can only have one of them at a time. Another genius decision.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

U wot? No! I want to be able to create and manage labels, not select all FFS.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just a few more years, like 10....maybe 15, 20 tops.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

what about using google contacts directly from the app?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Now you're just being silly, google can't afford Devs to implement all this nonsense us unreasonable people might want, when they could be looking for ways to make more money off of our data

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It still lags in productivity compared to a desktop app. For how much time we spend in email, I am surprised Outlook and Thunderbird still feel like they were built 20 years ago. Email clients get no love.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You have not used Thunderbird in a long time I guess. It has changed its UI a lot

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm excited for the upcoming Thunderbird/K9 Mail release for android.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Fairmail is my K9 replacement.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The major changes I saw are only like 3 months old... And they aren't necessarily good changes. Having said that I still like thunderbird a lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The update is 6 months old in release channel, in beta for almost a year and a preview was first seen about 18 months ago

Personally I like it a lot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Hmm, I saw a headline that it was released and then I had installed the update a week later 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Deleting all that garbage was satisfying.
