Recently, Google rolled out a new “tabs” feature for Gmail users. Your email now gets automatically sorted into several categories like “promotions”, “social” or “forums”.
From reactions I’ve seen so far, for everyone who likes the feature, there seem to be at least 10 people who hate it (and I’m among them).

Google Gmail's tab system is good for your workflow. If someone doesn't like the new features, change back to the old system.

I totally hated the update and quickly did a search on how to get rid of them. I’ve also noticed a significant drop in my email open rates. However, what’s surprising is when I send out a question for input on blog content to my list, I got a pretty good response rate. So I suppose that’s a good thing that my response and engagement levels haven’t really dropped, although my open rates have.
Either way, I will overcome this and take the necessary steps to educate my current list and new subscribers.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic, Shane.
