It's an email server, and it does emails. However. Routing is awful. Spammers and scammers take advantage of Google's system and send emails to random addresses, hoping the person Google rerouts them to is gullible. Smart notifications needs a lot of work. I have not gotten a single email notif, even for ones that Google marks as 'important,' since I turned on smart notifs several months ago. I have no problems scrolling through my email, but don't list that as a feature if it does nothing.
