    I like how the idea of Google shutting down Gmail isn’t even far-fetched, it’s just something everybody can get behind. Google will shut it down one day

      I think Gmail, chat, and maybe calendar are unlikely to be discontinued because they’re really heavily used internally.

        Chat? It’s on its 7th iteration or something. That’s definitely not a safe feature.

          Voice, chat, messages(?), hangouts, not named and built into Gmail, what am I missing?

        Yeah, but it’s not crazy ridiculous that people wouldn’t consider it.

          Of course it is. People have really fixated on this “Google kills products” meme way, way beyond reality

          Gmail is load-bearing software for, like, Western civilization at this point

      “*” means wildcard, kind of like the wild in Uno. This means that the email is going to be sent to every single person with @gmail in their address. That’s a lot of people.

        I get that part, just not the rest. (Well I do now, thanks to the other replies)

        I appreciate your help, though.
