Gmail drops third-party 'Send as' support, nudging users toward alternatives

Starting January 2027, Gmail will stop supporting sending from third-party addresses (Yahoo, Outlook, custom domains) via the web or mobile apps, and Gmailify plus web-based POP fetching will be removed. Gmail-to-Gmail aliases and Google Workspace 'Send as' remain unaffected. Affected users should migrate to desktop clients (Thunderbird, Outlook), a dedicated provider, or a paid Workspace plan before 2027. Google notes the change helps keep Gmail secure and maintainable while continuing to roll out features like BCC warnings and 'Help me write' AI edits; power users on Reddit criticized the move as pushing users toward paid services.

Gmail's AI summaries go global, with an off switch

Google has rolled out Gemini-powered AI email summaries in Gmail worldwide for free, across Android, iOS, and the web. While these AI overviews help you skim threads and use features like AI Inbox and Ask Gemini, you can disable them in Gmail’s settings under General > Manage Workplace smart features, though turning them off also cuts Gemini’s access to Workspace apps such as Drive and Tasks. The rollout is gradual and languages are currently limited (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish), with some AI features still restricted to US Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for non-thread use.

Proton Mail Expands Gmail Off-Ramp, Lets You Send from Your Gmail Address

Proton Mail is expanding its Easy Switch off-ramp from Gmail, now allowing users to send from a Gmail address inside Proton and import Gmail data (attachments, calendars, contacts, and more), while promising stronger privacy through end-to-end encryption and removal of trackers, ads, and spam; Google can’t read your email activity once connected, Proton can auto-pull new messages, and Gmail access to the Proton inbox is not granted, though users can still manage Gmail messages with other clients.

Google rolls out gradient-powered icons for Gmail, Drive, Calendar and more

Google is gradually rolling out a gradient redesign for Workspace icons, updating apps like Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar and Tasks with colorful gradients. The new icons are visible on Google's homepage launcher, but in-app icons haven’t all updated yet. The refresh moves away from the old four-color scheme to softer gradients (Calendar and Meet show distinct blue/yellow shifts; Keep and Tasks also look different). A broader rollout is expected around Google I/O 2026.

Turning off Gemini: how to remove Google's AI from Workspace apps

Engadget explains how to disable Google's Gemini AI across Google Workspace: first turn off smart features in Gmail (which also disables them in Chat and Meet), then adjust Workspace smart-feature settings; completely removing Gemini in an organization may require admin action, and turning off Gemini can affect basic features like spelling and inbox categorization, so you can selectively disable Workspace features while keeping some AI helpers in other Google apps.

Gmail Gets a Fresh Start: Change Your Username Without Losing Your Data

Google is rolling out a feature that lets you change your Gmail username (the part before @gmail.com) without resetting your account data. Your old address remains available as an alias, and all data stays intact, with the option to switch back. Availability is currently limited to the US and India, and you can change your username only once per year (up to four usernames total per account, since you can change it three times after the original). Chromebook users may need to remove and re-add their Google account, and you may need to sign back into some apps after the change.
