20 Years of Gmail

My account turned 20 last week.

I’ve been trying to detach from it, but with so much history, it’s hard. My attempts have mostly created fragmentation and confusion. I’m now checking 3 inboxes.

Gmail works fine as a service, it’s the company behind it (and how they make the money to fund it) that I don’t like. I think I’d need a few months off work to really get off of Gmail, and even then, I’d probably monitor it for a few years before actually deleting it.

I had 3 or 4 other Gmail account that I recently deleted. Though 1 is still pending, because Rockstar and Sony both make it impossible to delete/close accounts.
