Email Turns 55 — And It's More Dominant Than Ever
Email just turned 55 years old — that's older than the internet as we know it! And instead of being replaced by texting or social media, more people use email than ever before. It's like the bicycle of the internet: simple, reliable, and nobody's invented anything better.
Google Kills Gmailify and Begins Phasing Out POP3 Support
Google stopped letting you read your Yahoo or Outlook emails inside Gmail the easy way, and it's also making the really old way of getting email (POP3) go away. Now everyone has to use the newer, safer method.
Microsoft Finally Kills Basic Auth for SMTP and Retires Classic Outlook
Microsoft stopped letting people sign into their email with just a username and password — now you need a special secure token. They also replaced the old Outlook app everyone knew with a brand-new one, and not everyone is happy about it.
Open Rates Are Officially Dead as a Primary Email Metric
You know how email senders used to be able to tell if you opened their email? Well, too many email apps now block that trick, so the number doesn't mean anything anymore. Now senders have to look at whether you actually clicked on something instead.
