As one of their customers, I really appreciate that they don't upend everything all the time with pointless features.

Constantly reinventing things and piling on pointless features is one of the things I dislike most about Google, their chat solution is especially egregious for this. It only causes frustration and increases the time investment required to be proficient with the products.




They have added features though. They're just not invasive. They added masked emails, for example. And if I look at the settings right now, I notice they've added customization of what swipes do.

I too like the feeling that they're stable. I guess they're just tactful with their additions.


I don't mind new features, but I do very much mind when those new features change the UI, upend how things work or just add clutter.

Not invasive is a good way of putting it, I don't mind new features that are not invasive.


I switched a couple years ago because the masked emails and i was tired of histing anonaddy and i couldnt be happier myself. Easily the best mail provider i have used and i have used a bunch of them (including all the big guys, a provider using zimbra,protonmail, etc)


They don't need a new protocol to deliver a stable and sufficient product for their customers, I agree.

I'm suggesting that a new protocol needs hype for adoption and reinventing email needs new capabilities
