New Gmail rules enforced starting in February should reduce spam, make it easier to unsubscribe from bulk senders, and close email security loopholes exploited by cybercriminals.

    Yeah… unless you pay Google. Then they hand deliver “promoted” emails which somehow always fill the top few slots in my email. Funny how that works.

      I have never in my life seen that. The emails appear in order of arrival. I am confused about what you talk about.

          Ok I see… not saying is great but those are ads. Not prioritized emails. Like it’s an ad that looks like an email… yes I agree it’s terrible… but the emails are in the expected order.

          I guess I have never seen it because well as you seem to indicate it is recent. And I mostly use the PC for emails and there I have AdBlock so yeah there neither.

          I have check the phone and I saw some ads but they don’t look like emails ata all they are like bigger it’s easy to see the difference but they weren’t in-between so maybe are the old design.

          In any case it’s mostly a free service, except if go over the limit and similar, with quite some costs and with the current environment where ads revenue is going down and money isn’t as cheap as it used to be, Google and other companies are all trying to squeeze whatever they can, so everything is going shit…

      Have you considered moving your email away from Google? It’s easier than you’d expect
