Gmail Old Version will be discontinued from September

Three years back Google rolled out the new Gmail 2.0 interface, but they still provided a switch back link to older interface. You can find it in the footer of your inbox. It is because the new interface doesn’t work with Internet explorer 6. So, IE6 users are redirected to the older interface. Starting next month Google is going to discontinue the older interface and IE6 visitors will be redirected to ‘Basic HTML’ version  which is used for the outdated browsers.

The following message is displayed if you log into the older interface.

You’re using an old version of Gmail which will be retired in September. At that point, you’ll be redirected to a basic HTML view. To get faster Gmail and the newest features, please upgrade to a modern browser,

If you are still using IE6, its time to upgrade your browser and experience the whole new Gmail interface which was updated.
