Gmail's next overhaul is radical and will make it look more like Google Plus

The primary thing I noticed when I first saw this pointed out is AndroidPolice's articles on the [Google+ redesign](http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/16/significant-google-a...) and the [Gmail Redesign](http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/02/purported-shots-of-u...) which are both supposedly part of "Project Hera."

Either way, the headline makes me a little sad since this looks nothing at all like current Google+ and I'm really kind of hoping this redesign doesn't hit, as I don't personally like it.

Regardless, it will be incredibly interesting to see where Google goes from here, and whether or not this purported interface change is real. Google IO is just around the corner and it is focusing on design.

May Google have mercy upon us all.

I like Gmail for their IMAP service. I haven't touched the interface in months, and only then to access the configuration. I don't understand why people even use webmail to be honest. Either you're dealing with a company manipulating the interface to push some other product, or they're desperately trying to reimplement something that has been done in multiple IMAP/POP3 clients for years.
