Besides what captain obvious said, the main reason (even on my own phone) would be because the feature “When receiving a message: Reply from the same address the message was sent to” does not work on the Android Gmail Application

I’m an artisi and I constantly get emails of instrumentals and other mp3′s in which I can only preview the songs useing the email function. The browser actually allows me to down load the mp3!

The Gmail app can only handle one e-mail account. Jonathan Matus, Android Product Marketing Manager, talks about how he has two Gmail accounts and no other mobile platform allows him to juggle this well. He then fails to mention that Android does not either

At present using Gmail through the browser is the only solution for those of us with more than one Gmail account. I personally would decline on typing my password on someone else’s phone, but improving the Gmail web interface could only be a plus!

I def like the downloading in the site. Was pissed I couldn’t do it before cupcake… cupcakes make me happy, especially with the sprinkles of goodness.

I tried it and the keyboard shortcuts now work in the gmail app too.

I tend to use the app but I agree with the above comments on its limitations. If the google is moving towards a more browser based future maybe an update on the browser to make it faster will solve most of the problems because right now gmaill app is much faster than the browser for me.

Phil,

totally agree, no SEND AS (using the ones from gmail account) makes the gmail client all but a waste of time form me.

to be honest i find it a bit of a joke that it’s a google phone and gmail client is so poor compared to the web version. This should be their key app.

I too think captain obvious has the answer there. Friends often use my phone to check their email and social networks.

To the comment that mentioned multiple email accounts, why don’t you use the other included email app? I suppose it isn’t as functional, but I like getting notifications to my status bar so I have three additional email addresses running through it.

Because the gmail app doesn’t allow you to download .apk files that I’ve received via email.

And, of course, you may have more than 1 gmail account. Personally I have at least 5 gmail accounts that I can think of.
