    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.

      “*” 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.
