I miss Inbox, so I hacked Gmail with a little CSS magic (2019)

I used to be much the same, but being able to have my mail available anywhere I am is useful - even running 3 computers and a phone it always seemed a pain to get IMAP working (nearly always ended up having to stay on POP3 as a result). And gone are the days when you have to worry about having local files on a computer - backing up your email store file of whatever form.

Having said that, I'd love to jump the Google ship if I could find any other mail provider that had a good app for mobile and had snooze, which for me is the killer feature for email.

IMAP takes the same amount of time to set up for me as POP does.

And I have it on my phone, laptop, and desktop without any issues, giving me access to all of my email everywhere. Even when I'm entirely offline.

YMMV and all, but I’ve also had very good luck with IMAP. The only exceptions have been with Gmail due to it not following IMAP spec correctly, but that’s easy to fix… just use email services with proper IMAP implementations instead of Gmail.
