Had to Post This. Google Abandons Web Interface for iPad?

Report abuse betht1 Level 1 1/9/11 I find the Mobile Gmail very limited - I can't create new labels, change settings, etc. I'd like to use "regular" desktop Gmail when using my iPad but every time I go to Gmail, by default it loads the mobile interface. Is there any way around this? Thanks.

If you want, you can bookmark that version or add it to your homescreen so you're sure to always get it. Finally, just a heads-up that the Desktop version isn't completely optimized for iPad so you might encounter a few issues. Ethan 3 of 3 people found this answer helpful.

I've tried the same gmail account a few times and see an error that refers to too many redirects. I would like to be able to add 'labels' to my inbox. Is there a reason one gmail account can be accessed as the 'desktop version' while another can't?

The mobile interface drives me nuts and I want the standard browser/web/html5 interface. At least let me adjust the check mail settings! Really, even with the bugs, I usually prefer the regular web interface. Am I just out of luck now? Is there a URL I can bookmark that forces the old interface?

I even tried sending myself a link to the web interface, but no dice.  :-( Google once said "do no evil" but is it becoming "we know best!"? Post reply
