Coming soon: a Gmail Android app that will support for Microsoft's Outlook and Yahoo Mail. Product manager Matthew Izatt said the app will initially be available for devices running Google's Android mobile operating system.
"(W)e know some of you have email addresses that aren’t Gmail (it’s okay to admit it). The updated Gmail app now supports all email providers, which means you can now set up a separate inbox for, say, your Yahoo Mail or Outlook.com addresses using POP/IMAP," Izatt . He also said there is now a convenient Reply button at the bottom of every message, so a user can "continue a conversation when ... on the go."
Users accessing the Gmail app on an Android tablet will also find it easier to switch between accounts and different inbox categories, he added. For now, Izatt said the updated Gmail app will support devices running Android 4.0 and up.
But for those who could not wait for the Gmail 5.0 app to reach Google Play, they can download its APK, enthusiast site Android Police said. Android police cited the new Gmail app's support for corporate/exchange accounts as, "a capability that obviates the stock email app and promises to unite all your inboxes under one roof (unless of course you're using Inbox, which supports neither exchange nor Google Apps accounts)."
The APK files are signed by Google and can upgrade an existing app. A separate report on 9to5google.com said the interface has been reimagined with Material Design, the theme for Android Lollipop.
