New Delhi. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has announced the launch of ‘XMail’. With this announcement, speculations have started that Google’s flagship Gmail service will face tough competition. On Friday, Musk threatened Google and said that his X platform will soon provide the option of Gmail service. When X was asked if he was planning an email service, he said the service was coming soon.
According to news agency IANS, Nate McGrady, a member of X’s engineering and security team, had asked when XML would be launched. Musk replied, “Coming.” This caused an uproar in the tech industry as rumors spread that Google was shutting down Gmail after a manipulated image went viral on the social media platform.
When we create XML?

One follower said, “I have lost trust in Gmail. It’s time to switch to XML as soon as possible!” “I will use my Gmail for junk like I use my Hotmail for junk now,” another user commented.
Gmail is here to stay.

Basic HTML view will be closed this year
Earlier, a picture of an email allegedly issued by Google on X had gone viral in which it was written that Gmail service is being shut down in August 2024. Google made it clear on Friday that the popular e-mail service Gmail is not being shut down. The company is shutting down the basic HTML view this year and users will be switched to the ‘Standard View’ of the service.
