Some said i am stupid and Google The Kind especially for me allowed to turn off "Conversation View" in the settings and all my troubles could be solved in easy way. People like to give advises they are not going to follow.
Yes GMail has the setting allowing to turn off View but it does not change moronic brains of their developers: you still can not get count of unread email with Atom Feed, and the worst is what reading one of the email from the thread makes all other email from the same thread marked as read too. It is amazing: get in your mailbox, see tens of unread emails, click on one and you are happy – half of emails become read too - is not it beautiful?
I imagine the project manager of GMail (i believe it is a woman with $1000 glasses) was reported by her geniuses living on the trees "Yes, we allowed to turn conversation feature on and off, see this checkbox - it can be checked on and off, is not it fantastic? Should not we be rewarded for this work?"
Well, let's leave aside that strange idea of the atomic conversation. For some reason they did not support neither XMPP new email notifications nor IMAP IDLE for new emails what labeled with filters and removed from Inbox. WHY? What for they did all that features what can not be used in real life? Who paid them for just announcing the feature what is half- or not working?
Well, labels. Labels seemed to be good idea. Especially for me. I have about 5-7 project managed at time. I have few themes for every projects. I have bunch of developers working on each theme. I have Jira and Crucible notifications per project. Guess how many labels i would have to enlist.
I suppose all Google staff who receive more than 10 email per day use Outlook instead that creature they are trying to sell out.
