After a few weeks of rumours all that remains is to confirm what was an open secret. Google has redesigned its email client, better known as Gmail A change that will affect both the version for computers and their respective applications for Android and iOS devices However, there will still be to wait a few weeks to enjoy it in Spanish terminals.And it is that, his arrival, as we have been accustomed to lately Google, will be progressive Below we discuss their news.
The highlight of this new version is, without a doubt, its redesign to create different types of inboxes That is, the containers where the different emails are received. Under the premise that every user receives manymany and different types of messages, such as those that are related to social networks and are nothing more than mere notifications, those that come from other contacts, etc. the people of Google have thought that the most practical thing would be to have a tray for each type Something which is not exactly new, since Hotmail, before being Outlook.com already counted with a similar system, but it does seem effective and useful
These new inboxes are incorporated as menus or sections within the official applications of Gmail To this end, the already characteristic design of the drop-down menu on the left side to which is introduced Google We have become accustomed to most of its tools, where it is possible to see these four trays with different names depending on the type of mail they host. Thus, Main will collect direct mail from contacts and people, being the most important tray. For its part, Social will be designed to save all those messages from social networks asFacebook or Twitter (among others) and that tend to saturate the user's usual inbox only to report that you have been mentionedMore interesting is the menu or tray Promotions, one of the great ballasts of current mail Y is that the advertising messages and the offers of the pages to which is subscribed, thus separating yourself from important emails. Finally there is Notifications, an interesting tab to save emails related to purchases, reservations or ticketsA place to sort airline ticketsairline tickets, online purchase confirmations, hotel reservations, and other important receipts to always have close at hand.
The good thing is that the user will not have to carry out any type of configuration The own mail of Gmail will be in charge of recognizing the origin and content of the messages to know in which tray to deposit them so that it is the user who consults, when and where they want, from their smartphone or tablet , all these messages.All this without neglecting the useful tags to mark and organize these emails. Also, if the user does not want this new tray system, it is always possible to deactivate it from the Settings menu and return to the classic design.
In short, a new turn of the screw to email from Google that looks interesting and, most importantly: useful However, we will still have to wait for the next few weeks until the arrives update for paths applications on Google Play and App StoreThe web version for computers will also arrive in the coming days, in this case automatic, without the need to update.
