I have been using gmail for quite long time. It is getting ridiculously terrible these days (in the past couple of years I guess!)

My old laptop fans go crazy when I launch chrome. It’s too much heavy for a mail client.

It’s remarkable how we suck at writing software in the past years.

I will have one browser window open, but in my task manager will have like 17 concurrent chrome processes running, slowing things down so much. I understand there are certain things running in the background but it is extremely hard to close out of certain tasks and stop plugins without terminating my entire browsing session.

I haven't used webmail ui in years, and couldn't be happier. All native application deliver far superior experience, are more performance work offline etc.

If only IMAP worked decently in Gmail.

IMAP still works, you could use a local client
