Google confirms Gmail is “here to stay” amid speculation over plans to scrap the email service::Claims that Google plans to sunset Gmail were a hoax, so there's no need to panic

Not a problem. I use my Domain so can easily move elsewhere. And I have a backup of all my mail in my email client.

Yeah, I don't believe you though

I have a few internal sources that say that gmail will be sunset slowly because Google finds it needs space for AI work.

That would be the dumbest decision ever. Email is a prime space to be revolutionized by AI.

I'd like them to scrap it actually. So much bullshit you have to do setting up an email server so that GMail would accept your, you know, mail. And there's little demand for alternative services cause everybody has MS and Google mail address (or a dozen).

Spam is a bad thing, yes, spammers have to be fought. But again, I personally would prefer only obviously invalid letters (with spoofed From etc) to be discarded this way. There are local spam filters after all for many local clients, which is how you are supposed to use email.
