Now users from around the world can ‘Gmailify’ all email accounts. Gmail has rolled out a feature that can enable people to access the best of Gmail regardless of their email service providers. People can now access their Yahoo inbox, Hotmail inbox and even their Outlook inbox, directly from their Gmail app on android. The new feature not only enable you to link your existing account to Gmail, but also comes with powerful features including, spam protection and inbox organisation to those with Outlook, Hotmail or Yahoo addresses.
How to get this going on your android device?
It is pretty simple! All you need to do is open the Gmail app on your device, sign in to your email account / accounts and check a small box next to ‘Gmailify’. Users can also unlink their account / accounts at any time, and continue to access them through the app without using Gmailify. Currently this feature will be exclusively available for android devices. However, Google is yet to reveal when it will roll out to iOS users. The company is also planning to add other email providers, apart from those mentioned above, to Gmailify in the future.
Google announced this new feature in a blog post dated 17th Feb. According to the company, Gmailify links your existing account to Gmail so that you get all the bells and whistles – spam protection, inbox organization and even Google Now cards based on your mail – without having to leave your current address behind. This indeed is a welcome feature that will enable hordes of users to do away with all the clutter and needless advertisements on and around their email service providers’ websites and access all that they need through the easily navigable UI of Google’s Gmail.
