The problem isn’t email. It’s the user interface. I’d recommend that the author of the piece install Thunderbird or Evolution. Both programs make it much easier to find things. Web based interfaces are feeble in comparison.
Hear, hear.
Of course the solution is not better email apps, but AI.
Give your email over to ChatGPT and you can ask it to find anything in your email with simple, direct questions in English!
Of course the 3rd parties that also use ChatGPT to mine your email, so that you can use if for free also greatly benefit.
Gee, a win, win!
In the case of Google and GMail that’ll be Bard singing like a canary all about your email to those paying 3rd parties.
Haven’t tried ChatGPT but I did use the Brave browser the other day to “ask Leo” “how many Schempp-Hirth Arcus aircraft have been made”.
It came back with that it was a very difficult question to answer as the
Schempp-Hirth Arcus was a fictional aircraft.
IRL it has been in production since 2009 and 300 or so have been made.
We may have a ways to go with AI.
If you need to save the Western world by bluffing with a voluminous essay of nonsense, then we have your app!
And all those people who want everything in units of libraries of Congress, Olympic swimming pools, and fortnights, ChatGPT will readily provide hilarious answers. It’s not quite math aware, but not quite math unaware either.
“Concrete” tube???
My first thought, too, Eric W. It’s a journalism!
On the other hand, I guess people did say something about how the F-4 proves that you make brick go supersonic if you put a big enough engine on it…
I had to reinforce my refrigerator shelves in order to hold all those concrete soda cans.
you *can* make *a* brick…
Sheesh….
I’ve generally found success when searching Gmail. For example, it showed me that the main components in Mom’s Linux box were 11 years old, moving me to replace them.

Outlook search, OTOH, is close to worthless.
