It’s been a little over a year since Google unveiled Gmail 5.0 with the ability to add inboxes from your Yahoo or Outlook accounts, and after introducing Oauth support back in June, they’re back with another big update to Gmail. Once again, the focus is on your other email accounts with Google announcing the ability to “Gmailify” those accounts. Google says it’s basically the closest you can get to using an email address from a different provider, but with all the powerful Gmail features you know and love.
The Gmailify experience includes:
All this is available from the Gmail app starting today, all you have to do is login into your other email account, and enable Gmailify. Here’s how you do it.
To unlink an account, follow the same steps but instead of “Link” an account, you’ll see the option to “Unlink.”
After that, you’ll enjoy all the benefits of Gmail — including Google Now cards — using that old “BigWillyStyles420@yahoo.com” email account you’ve been hanging onto. Oh, and don’t forget, if you don’t like the Gmailify experience, it’s super easy to turn it off.
