From my experience, and what I understand, google has made it so that <i>if</i> you use Inbox, gmail.com will now direct there. Those who don&#x27;t use inbox are unchanged, and inbox users can turn it off. As an Inbox user I can still access gmail from the app menu, but the url forwards.<p>Shortly after this happened (last week I think), I saw a few articles saying &quot;Google forces all gmail users to inbox&quot; and &quot;Google Kills Gmail&quot;, but I haven&#x27;t seen any evidence of this, and I really doubt they&#x27;re going to retire gmail. There&#x27;s too many people using it, and no reason not to leave both services running if they&#x27;re using the same backend.
