Do you also get your notifications or direct messages sent to your gmail?

(If I direct message you for example. does it goes to your gmail account and browser?)

JFC...

Is there really *no* other email than Gmail in the universe?

Wow...

Follow

@FinchHaven I have not measured how many people use gmail but feel free to contest it :) (so yes, most email is gmail, lol, but not all).

And so this question was specifically for gmail users because people like you don't have gmail (cough cough, do you?)

@freeschool

My issue was your direct equivalence of

All email == Gmail

or

Gmail == all email

To repeat this stereotype does no one any good whatsoever

And my reply has *nothing* to do with me per se

My primary email servicer is my domain name/web hosting company, which I've had since 1998

And yes, your cutesy snark *cough cough* notwithstanding, I *do* use Gmail

It's been my backup/emergency/trash email address going back about as far as Gmail has existed

@FinchHaven The thing is that the actually focus was on gmail users - that was the specifics.

So while a mixture of short-hand may have seemed to exclude the rest - it was directly only at gmail...

and then by your offended reply you overlook this or it needs saying as I played in to your reply after about all email not being gmail (I never claimed it but let's not get too stuck)

Other emails are probably less than X% or on the fringes BUT no less important. Sorry to have offended you.

I had a feeling you were a bit of a die-hard which I like, and say endearingly, so anyway no harm intended - not all email = gmail 🆗 fine.

I am actively looking for an answers too for Gmail as it's the core of a lot of traffic and snooping, so feel free to redirect energy into actual answers to that so the giant monopoly provider is reduced.

I'm guessing you don't do signups to others for your self-hosted and other email providers I've asked / typed reasons for simply don't get back to people asking or create it in the end.
