The new Gmail is here and it seems everyone is going to get it (whether they want to or not!)
On Monday, Google announced that its massively updated Gmail will begin its general availability (GA) in July. And by October 2018, it will be the only email option, with no opt-out.
The new Gmail is currently available in an Early Adopter Program (EAP) with an option to try it out before its general release. For users (the business version of Gmail), the change currently comes mostly at the organizational level.
G-Suite users will have more options in July. Domain owners can choose to migrate everyone or suspend the new Gmail. Or they can let each person choose what they want to do.
But that option for G-Suite users and everyone else will soon be gone. Eight weeks after the general launch in July, all users will be moved to the new Gmail. They will continue to have the option to opt out for another four weeks. However, twelve weeks after the July rollout, users will have to accept the new Gmail as their new and established form of email.
This may sound a bit overbearing on the company's part, but the new Gmail is pretty good. Many people couldn't wait to try it out even before its general release. So, we better start getting used to the idea of the new Gmail because very soon it will be our only option, whether we like it or not.
Gmail offers a range of useful features, strong security measures and easy accessibility, making it a preferred email service for both individuals and businesses. Whether you need a reliable platform for personal communication or a powerful tool for team collaboration, Gmail has you covered. Plus, it's constantly evolving and improving, staying ahead of the competition
