People trusted that e-mail offering by Google would be compatible with an existing e-mail ecosystem.

Google deals in information control with e-mail hosting being one of tools. They are also very efficient at presenting themselves as being right. So folks and companies having trouble sending messages to GMail, moved to GMail over time since it seemed doing good job, in opposition to their sending offering which seemed at fault.

Google seems to be incapable of not fucking up anything that disrupts their ability to spy. I believe that as soon as they figure out a better way to creep on people's finances and purchases on a global scale, they'll move on to killing e-mail globally.

Microsoft, in contrast, seems to be incompetent when it comes to e-mail. From my perspective this was a true statement since they touched e-mail. 'member Outlook Express? Dealt with Office365? Same shit 25 years apart.
