Sorry, what? This just doesn't make sense on any level. It's not in Google's economic interest to make me buy a certificate which Google doesn't sell. Importing mail from other accounts isn't a premium feature, so there should be a way to do it without cleartext passwords or penalty to other people. Allowing me to use Gmail's spam filters on imported mail doesn't degrade Gmail for me and shouldn't affect anybody else. Neither does allowing me to specify that I personally trust a particular certificate. A certificate I explicitly trust is worth much more than a certificate from a faceless private corporation that I'm assumed to trust by default.
Perhaps you also missed the part where Google started silently dropping incoming messages sent between other people because of me doing what their help pages told me to do. Silently dropping mail is not acceptable under any circumstances (and is against the law for traditional mail), and punishing a server I volunteer to receive mail from, based on the content of that mail, is a dick move. There is no "sorry this feature isn't available, why don't you upgrade to Gmail Gold Star Premium Platinum Plus Edition?" message, the feature used to exist but was removed unannounced. If they really wanted me to buy Gmail Gold Star Premium Platinum Plus Edition, I don't think they'd rely on you to tell me about it in response to a bug report. -Andrew On Friday, 27 March 2015 00:52:11 UTC, Marko V wrote: > > [...] > -- > Marko > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
