0 Elon Musk seems to be working on a new email service called “Xmail,” which may just rival Google’s Gmail. This is after false reports that Gmail was shutting down were dismissed. Musk had responded to a question posed by Nathan McGrady, the lead member of X’s Security Engineering team, on the microblogging platform X, which is formerly known as Twitter. Musk confirmed that Xmail is “coming,” though he did not reveal specifics such as the date of launch or detailed features. Speculations suggest that Xmail will integrate well with the X app; it is indeed in accordance with Musk’s vision for creating an “everything app.”
Rumors about Xmail’s features include enhanced privacy, faster email delivery, and a minimalist design. However, these are based on user guesses rather than official information. The tech community has reacted with mixed opinions—some users express enthusiasm about switching due to privacy concerns, while others remain skeptical about leaving Gmail, a service with over 1.8 billion active users globally.
For Xmail to be successful, it would have to offer features that are competitive and earn users’ trust in handling their sensitive communications. Although this announcement has started discussions of a possible shift in the email service industry, there are many who remain guarded because of Musk’s past history of announcing projects with less follow-through.
