Since I had to create a GMail (Google mail) account to redeem all the "free" gifts I received after purchasing my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, I decided I'd create a Facebook account under that email.
So, I create the Facebook account, but it won't be active until I go to my Gmail account and click on the link in the email they've sent me.
So hour after hour passes and there's not email.
Why not?
Well...gee...it's because GMail doesn't deliver emails from Facebook to your email account, it delivers it into a tab called Social Media. So I finally looked up at the tabs and saw Social that I hadn't noticed before, and in any event would not have thought to look into it, because the message is supposed to be sent to my EMAIL account you idiots!!!!
And of course it was in there.
I didn't create a tab called Social...I didn't create any tabs, I want my email delivered into my email box, (preferably a yahoo.com email because *that* is an email, but unfortunately Samsung is partners with Google...)not some stupid "tab".
But then, the Gmail interface is so awful there is no describing it.
In Yahoo mail, everything is easy, you don't get lost.
In Gmail, you're email conversations are threaded and it is *impossible* to keep track of them (I speak from the experience of a previous Gmail account I was forced to create when I got an Elance job for a particular client - it was awful and it remains awful.)
